The personal computer in "C & C"

Three areas underpin the developing role of the personal computer: first, the integration of computer and communications technology; second, the developments in microelectronics technology; and third, the packing of software and intelligence into VLSIs resulting in the feasibility of improved man--machine interface. These issues are discussed in this paper. In addition, this paper describes the PC-100 personal computer which provides high-quality graphics capability. This 16-bit personal computer also has a Kanji (Chinese characters used in writing the Japanese language) processing function, which is indispensable in the Japanese market.
