Is the original web manga itself an adaptation? I didn't quite understand what you meant. I only know (no pun intended) that in the near future we will have several adaptations of this author.

The anime has an entirely original story and is not an adaptation of the manga at all, due to being too technical.

Is this dedicated to some character mascot?

I'm still kind of bummed we aren't getting an adaptation, I would've enjoyed that for sure (and would be an educational experience as well); but almost no one under the age of 30 in Japan would have no clue about the PC-98 outside of maybe educational software if even that. I haven't heard much about Yui in a while either.
