Retro PCs and microcomputers that we loved
ボディはブラック、キーボードは白とグレーのツートンカラーという色合いと、かっちりとしたデザインが相まって、非常にシックな印象を受ける外観になっています。This corner looks back on the nostalgic microcomputer and computer with photos.This time, we featured the first MSX2 computer "HB-F5" released by Sony in 1985.
Along with the announcement of the MSX2 standard in 1985, various MSX2 PCs were launched into the market.Above all, Sony and Panasonic will be a hot battle, but the first MSX2 computer released by Sony is the HB-F5 that we took up this time.There were two colors of black and light gray coloring, and the price was 84,800 yen.
テンキーの右上にカーソルキーが位置していますが、ゲームをプレイする際にテンキーが邪魔になることはあまりありませんでした。リセットボタンのみ、赤く目立っているのが特徴です。広告では1/2ページにHB-F5を配置して、その上に目立つよう「HITBIT MSX･2」と表記していました。全体的に、かなりシンプルなデザインになっています。At this time, Sony also released a display, and was advertised with this unit on the Soni Linitron Color TV KV-14CP1, which uses a Fine Pitch Trinitron tube.At the same time, three monitors for PCs were released, but KV-14CP1 was a model that not only had RGB21 pin input, but also could watch TV by connecting antenna wire to the back.There are a total of four types of monitors in the ads, but at this time the captain system has begun, and the demand has been released to satisfy the demand.
The specifications of the HB-F5 were built-in RAM64KB and VRAM128KB, and two cartridge slots.By installing 128KB instead of 64KB, you can operate not only the MSX1 standard as well as the MSX2 title without any inconvenience.On the back, not only the familiar RF output terminals and audio and video output terminals, but also RGB output terminals.The RGB output terminal often found in MSX and MSX2 is a round pattern of DIN8 pin, but this unit adopts RGB21 pin.
背面は左から、CMT端子、プリンタポート、オーディオ出力端子、ビデオ出力端子、チャンネル切り替えスイッチ、RF出力端子、RGB21ピン出力端子、サービスコンセントとなっています。It can be said that the MSX machine was a minority and had a numeric keypad.The key touch was a bit fluffy, but it was a full stroke key that was easy to typing.The kana key and the CAPS key had a built -in indicator, so it was very easy to understand which mode it was used.There was a reset button at the same level as the keyboard, but not only was it painted in red, but the button was surrounded a little, and it was set in a slightly concave position, so it is unlikely that you will push it by mistake.did.
右側面にはジョイスティック端子が2つ、左側面には電源スイッチがついています。When you start the main unit, the menu is first displayed, and you can use various functions by selecting address books, schedule books, notes, etc. from there.At that time, connecting the data cartridge HBI-55 or disk drive was added, so that the icon was added, and data could be written out.
Speaking of the fall of 1985, fire bird MZ-2500 (168,000 yen or more), X1TURBOII (178,000 yen), FM77AV (128,000 yen ~), PC-8801MKIIFR (99,800 yen or more), so-called three-family manufacturers are excited.The model was released.However, MSX2 PCs, which were cheaper than them, attracted attention from prices and specifications, including this unit, and were less than MSX1 PCs, but various manufacturers entered, fighting in intense competition.
