Description:

This is a list of many of Sharp Pocket Computers and their accessories that were made starting about 1977. Included is a section on the Cartridge Calculators that preceeded the pocket computers. Please note that we do NOT have these calculators available for sale; they are listed here for historical purposes. The literature and manuals here were published by Sharp Electronics who owns the copyright on them. A History of Pocket Computers 1980-2000 is an interesting paper by Roland Saam of the IEEE published at HISTELCON in 2019. The current version of this page is at sharppocketcomputers.com. Large pocket computer with magnetic card for storing programs, silver tape discharge printer, successor to PC-1200/PC-1201 Number pad, 8 function, Yes, No Enter keys (run-time version of PC-1360). 72 x 182 x 16 mm | Photo Scientific functions with Matrix capability Qwerty keyboard, 72 x 170 x 10mm PC-1403 Operation Manual (6 MB) Scientific computer but no financial functions, sequel to EL-5500/EL-5500II RAM card slot in back (fits full and half-size) 72 x 182 x 16 mm PC-1460 Operation Manual (8 MB) Run-time calculator, number pad, 8 function keys, Yes, No, Menu, Calc, Enter keys. Slot in back for half-size RAM card (8K - 256K) 155 x 78 x 13 mm PC-V550Service Manual (40 MB) Run-time calculator, number pad, 5 function keys, Yes, No Enter keys. Slot on side for RAM card The very first pocket computers (PC-1200/PC-1201) just memorized key presses and stored the sequence in memory. See Sample PC-1201 program. Next (EL-5100) came the Algebraic Expression Reserve (AER) mode which allowed you to enter an algebraic expression and the calculator would evaluate it. The result could be stored in a memory and recalled. S-BASIC Language Characteristics (19 MB) S'-BASIC Compiler Manual (476 KB) S'-BASIC (S-prime) was the initial BASIC. It appeared first in the PC-1210/PC-1211 pocket computers and was carried through most of the PC-12xx series. It uses a very efficient single-byte tokenizing system which contained every BASIC command, function and operator as well as the entire character set. Letters were upper-case only. There are several versions of S'-BASIC with minor variations. S-BASIC appeared in the PC-14xx and PC-126x series and later pocket computers. It uses a two-byte tokenizing system and has quite a few more statements than S'-BASIC as well as upper and lower-case letters. Programs written in S'-BASIC can generally (but not always) be transferred to pocket computers that use S-BASIC although some minor tweaking of the program might be required. (The program is translated to the 2-byte token by the receiving pocket computer.) The PC-1500/PC-1600 are Z80-based machines and use a different version of BASIC. Some of the best information about the early pocket computers can be found in editions of the Pocket Computer Newsletter which was published from 1981 to 1985 by Nat Wadsworth. There is a collection of them at the excellent www.pc-1500.info website. Shown with OZ-707 Card inserted With address book, schedule, calendar, world clock 155 x 184 x 11 mm (open) 155 x 90 x 20 mm (closed), 245g Level Converters change the 5 volt TTL logic levels to a RS-232 +/- 12v or RS-422 standard. They are used to connect the calculators to a standard ports. To upload a BASIC program from the PC-1360 or other calculator with a 15-pin SIO connector to a PC, you need a level converter and this Upload program. Run the program with no arguments (i.e., just type Upload.exe) to get a help screen. This is a DOS program and can be run from a DOS prompt in Win98 or earlier. It also works in a command window with Windows 2000/SP5, but has not been tested with other versions of the NT/2K/XP family. There is also a set of tools for storing and retrieving programs here: Pocket Tools for SHARP Pocket Computers 25-pin connector is mounted in a small box with a 300mm cable to the 15-pin connector CE-131T requires a null-modem adapter CE-130T Manual (1 MB) CE-131T Manual (0.5 MB) 1.5m cable with level converter built into the 15-pin SIO connector CE-133T Operation Manual (399 KB) 1.5m cable with level converter built into the 15-pin SIO connector Small (51 x 51 mm) unit(no cable come with this unit) CE-137T Operation Manual (355 KB) 1.8m cable with level converter built into the 15-pin SIO connector (not made by Sharp) 8K RAM card with battery for data backup (CR2032) Read-only switch to simulate ROM Memory switch to select capacity (4K 6 or 8K) 9 x 41 x 48 mm, 12 g 16K RAM card with battery for data backup (CR2032) Read-only switch to simulate ROM Memory switch to select capacity 9 x 41 x 48 mm, 12 g Programatically switched between 2 16K banks Read-only switch on card to simulate ROM 48 x 41 x 9mm, with battery for data backup (1 x CR-2032) 32K EPROM module (requires CE-1601E adapter to connect to a standard EPROM programmer).

It provides TTL-level serial data to/from the pocket computer.A Level Converter is required to interface with standard RS-232 serial communications. (The new "mini" version of this connector is much smaller, but has the same pin out.) The 11-pin connector is a proprietary Sharp interface used to connect printers, cassette interfaces, and pocket floppy drives. It can also be used to transfer programs between some pocket computers with the EA-129C cable. These are the standard Amphenol connectors commonly used for RS-232 serial communications. Sharp produced a number of programmable desktop calculators in the early 1970s prior to the handheld devices. These machines were programmed by hand, with some having a magnetic card system which could store programs and data. The Cartridge Calculator Series (introduced in 1975) was the first programmable product in which the program could be permanently stored on ROM chips. The program was written in a micro-code similar to the code used in the early desktop calculators and the first programmable handheld calculator. PC-1201 Pocket Computer. The EPROM chips were installed in an interchangeable cartridge. "RAM" (which was a series of numbered memories) was in the calculator and protected by a backup battery.
