The European and USA version released in 1982.
The board is final, the production runs !
PC-1500 Japan
Family’s first, born in 1981.
You can see the Katana codes near the keys.
They are only available with CE-157 or after loading CE-156 tape.
You can see many straps on these early boards.
Was it a design problem ? Production problem ?
The magnificent seven…
The story tell about seven… pocket computers based on the Sharp PC-1500.
Yesterday i received the PTA-4000 and PTA-4000+16 with printers KA-160.
With my screwdriver i opened the PTA-4000 : PC-1500 like. Just have to check the ROM version.
And opened the PTA-4000+16 : WOW !!! Was it produced “as-is” by Sharp ? Modified by Hungarian company ?
Incredible… will write a paper about this…
