Sharp programmable family & other oldies |
All of these 8 bit computers are basic programmable, most of them have 11-pin printer port for printer output and cassette input-output, some of them have 15-pin RS232 serial interface. We see these on left-right photos. These ports enable them to be programmed for external communications. Especially the PC1600 with 8 bit AD converter and enhanced basic instructions set. But addressing particular pins for 11-pin printer-cassette tape interface is slitly different for various types of these pretty Sharp pocket computers. Powered are most of them with two CR2032
3V button cells. |
