There are many things that can be done on the Sharp X1 Turbo Z, and one of those things is running CP/M and compiling C programs for it. I picked up a legit copy of CP/M designated as being for the X1 Turbo series, and Lifeboat's C programming language for use on CP/M (I believe the C compiler would work on non-Turbo versions of CP/M). Both came in original boxes, and the C compiler came with the manual as well. continued ⇒

Sharp X1 music tools. It includes a tone creator, music composer, music player with a visualization, and a program to link your creations into, if I recall correctly, your programs. It is one of few programs that was made available on 5.25″ HD floppy disks for the system, most used 5.25″ DD disks because it was the lowest common denominator in the X1 series. It also ran at 640×400, which was not so unusual because there were two generations of their systems that could use this higher resolution. continued ⇒
This is another system I had initially decided I didn’t want to get. As I mentioned before, I didn’t want the NEC PC-6001, because I’d tried the PC-6601SR, which was supposedly the top of the top of the PC60/66 group, and I wasn’t especially interested in it (although in retrospect, I could have tried harder). But the quirkiness and frankly the cheapness of the PC-6001 won me over. All of the cost-saving measures they put into the machine made it a unique experience. Despite, or perhaps because of, its ugly green background and peculiarly designed keyboard, I ended up liking it quite a bit. continued ⇒
A while back, I posted about a three-pack of FM-77 system disks that I found. I bought them, copied them, then re-copied them just in case, and then resold them. I don’t have an FM-77, but it does work on my FM77AV20EX, and that’s been just fine. continued ⇒
