Just look at it and compare - the only difference from a
users view is that the PET had a ROM Basic, while the MZ80s
would boot BASIC from cassette. Everyting else was _very_
similar - including the design of the case - chicklett or
simple Keyboard, build in CRT, Flip case to open ... etc.
They are definitly the Japanese answer to the PET/CBM.
I belive their design order was 'make such a PET thing'.
Remember, in the late 70s/early 80s Japan was still in
the 'lets clone it and make it cheaper and maybe a bit
better' bussines.
