The PV-2000, also known as RakuGaki, is a home computer manufactured by Casio and released in Japan in 1983, with a launch price of ¥29,800.[1][2] It has similar hardware to MSX machines, but uses a different sound chip, memory allocations and BIOS.

History

[edit]

The PV-2000 was released shortly after the PV-1000 game console.[3] It was intended as a home computer and featured an integrated keyboard. It is compatible with PV-1000 controllers but not its games, as it features a different architecture.[4][5][6]

Technical details

[edit]

The PV-2000 was powered by a NEC PD-780C CPU (compatible with the Zilog Z80) running at 3.579Mhz, with 4 KB RAM, and 16 KB of VRAM.[2] It had a TMS9918A graphics chip capable of generating 256×192 pixels graphics with 16 colours and 32 sprites. Sound was produced by a SN76489AN with three channel sound capability with 4 octaves. The operating system was C83-BASIC v 1.0, similar to MSX BASIC.
