  1. New blog post! I've been hunting for one of these for a long time, but anything I buy for myself is going to need some work (otherwise, what's the point?) Come watch me fight tapes, plotters, power supplies, monitors, and my own inability to read documentation to get this battered Sharp MZ-700 up and running again.

  2. I'm not a huge fan of cassette tape drives in general, but this MZ-700 needs my help. All the belts are there, power is present, but the play button doesn't make it turn. What's going on? I'd probably know by now if I could figure out how to take the motor board out. #retrocomputing #sharpmz #mz700
  3. The MZ-700 is back on the road after a small power supply repair. Nice! Now just to figure out how to get it to load arbitrary code. There's a whole jungle of MZF/MZT loaders that I'll have to try. #sharpmz #mz700 #retrocomputing #retrocomputer

  4. This doesn't seem like a normal reading for a 33uF cap! Suspect this might be the cause of the shrieking MZ-700 power supply. #retrocomputing #sharpmz #mz700 #retrocomputer

  5. FRAK ("List Fakultetskog Racunardskog Kluba Fakulteta Graditeljskih Znanosti Sveucilista u Rijeci") was the first jugoslawian Computer Fanzine - made by students of engineering at the University in Rijeka in 1982 (until at leat 1985) for mostly HP and TI Calculators, #ZXSpectrum, #SharpMZ and other #HomeComputers with a built-in #BASIC.
