Junk Point It's the electronic town Nipp--onbasshi DESSE"
story When I worked in the headoffice of chain stores, I often went to many town to support the new store or to have a seminar.
I got this board and 8MB of RAM module at the junk shop in Nippon-bashi, the electronic shop town in Osaka City, when I went to Osaka to have a seminar. I went there setting a doubt working dayin a short time between business. I bought it for my section's PC so I paid it for official expense.
It must not be a right way to bought the official tools in a junk shop that is so far, but it worked proper.
Althogh, because the commercial software runs under MS-DOS,this board was of no use after all. So I unwillingly recieved it and use on my PC-9801VX2, unwillingly...(Hey,man....)
The specific performance of this board was to be able to display high-resolution mode of 640x480/800x500 on against "PC-9801 normal mode display(640x400 only)"'s will (It can work only on windows3.1).
It couldn't display on proper aspect ratio with all adjustments, and on VGA mode, It appeared "Eye-crushed flicker". So I can't believe someone used this board on this mode. But I was satisfied to be able to see the Mr.Kuratch!'s wallpapre of beautiful bontage girls. It was a good time.....
