Hitachi has added a Winchester disk system with 11.5Mb to go with the MBE-16002, now renamed the PC-1 and reviewed in PCN, Issue 44.

The disk system costs £2,293. It is available through the company's dealer network, and users can chain two disk systems together to boost considerably the storage on their systems.

Also due for release in February is a relative of the PC-1. To be baptised the PC-2, it is a monochrome version of the original, identical in specs apart from the lack of colour. It will cost £2,523, as opposed to the £2,985 of the colour model.
