H > HITACHI  > MB-6880 / Basic Master and Basic Master Level 2     


Hitachi
MB-6880 / Basic Master and Basic Master Level 2

This early japanese computer seems quite strong with its metal case. The machine has a very sober look. The keyboard is minimalist too, no CTRL or ESC keys...

There is apparently no graphical high-resolution but the computer offers 253 predefined characters including graphic symbols.

The power switch is placed on the front case just above the keyboard.

The Basic Master eventually evolved into the Basic Master Level 2 which offered more memory (8k instead of 4k, wow).
