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 ⇒ |

Japan had its own computer revolution in the 80s that we might say paralleled that of the western world. It’s absolutely overwhelming at first to look through all the potential offerings. In the US, we had three big-time 8-bit players – Commodore, Atari, and Apple -and a host of manufacturers with smaller market shares. In Japan they also had three mighty participants – Fujitsu, NEC, and Sharp. continued ⇒ |

I picked up a Tomy Pyuta mkII on Mercari recently. This is a follow-up to the original Pyuta, similar to how the Commodore 64C followed the Commodore 64. Except while the Commodore 64C was a cost-saving implementation of the Commodore 64, this one looked like it provided a minor upgrade. From the outside, at a glance, it looks like they just swapped out the keyboard, offering a short-travel plastic keyboard, which was much more usable than the rubber chiclet keyboard that the original sported. continued ⇒ |

This is a relatively uncommon expansion pack. I don't know for sure, but I imagine this is geared more for the Tomy Pyuta mkII than the original, because the mkII lacks a true BASIC environment. But it will also plug into an original Pyuta just fine. To install this, it goes into the expansion port, not the cartridge slot (kind of obvious when you look at the connector). In addition to BASIC, it also provides printer connectivity. continued ⇒ |
