  1. Finally getting around to writing a Raspberry pico-based Sharp MZ-80K emulator.

    It should be relatively straightforward - I hope.

    I'm not expecting progress to be fast as I'm making sure I properly understand & document each component I write (or incorporate from other projects).

    I'm determined to have as little cruft as possible. My aim is to implement a MZ-80K, not every Z80-based computer (or even every Sharp MZ) ever released.

  5. A fully-functional Sharp MZ-2000 with the expansion unit, floppy controller, floppy drive, & gotek.

    The MZ-2000 is an obscure Z80 system and many of the add-ons are practically unobtanium. I’d given up on finding an original floppy controller but here we are! #RetroComputing #SharpMZ #SharpMZ2000

  9. 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.

  13. 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

  17. 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

  21. 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

  23. 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. It is not digitazed and archived online yet ... 13 issues are stored in PEEK&POKE's magazine archive as #PaperWare.
