Tandy TRS-80 and TEAC PS-80 in Japan

TEAC PS-80 TRS-80 Model 1 "clone". Shots were taken from Yahoo! Japan Auction site. (Maybe in around 2008?)

Searching for PS-80 TRS-80 restricted on the Japanese .jp site alone does bring up a few articles. One is a 1984 article about soil using the PS-80. See the English summary at the end of this .pdf for an example of where this machine was used. Remember this is some years before MSX.

    Mentions Tandy's partnership with Teac and the PS-80. I believe there is also a PS-85 model from 1981 or 1982 possibly. The version seen here has two cassette decks while the model seen from the yahoo.jp auction site had only one.

    TEAC PS-85

    Is this TEAC PS-85 a TRS-80 compatible machine and a successor to the PS-80 (which is known to be a TRS-80)? It is unclear. If it is some of the specs would be unique and odd. Some sites show it had a 640x400 graphics capability. Also, it ran a Z-80A but only 64x16 display.
