It was available as:

NEC PC-8201 *
NEC PC-8201A *
Olivetti M10 *
Kyocera KC-85 *
Tandy M100 *
Tandy M102 *

and later, upgraded as:

NEC PC-8300
Tandy M200 *

The NEC PC-8201 was the Japanese version of the 8201A. Followups that were
*not* related include:

NEC PC-8401A *
Olivetti M15 *
Tandy M600 *

I'm not sure about the NEC PC-8500 though.

* Examples I have -- I'm looking for an 8300 and would like a non-modified
m102.
