Hi, I have an original copy of the Sharp MZ80K SP-2001 Assembly language Manual - I will scan it in if there is any interest for this.

Nice site, recently got my MZ-700 out of storage and brushing up on my coding skills for it. Nice collection of information here. Keep up the good work.

Hi, if anyone is interested in the Sharp running on FPGA, Ive written an Emulator for the MZ series (currently MZ80K/C/1200/A/700) under the MiSTer project. This is a hardware based emulation/simulation, details are at https://github.com/MiSTer-devel/SharpMZ_MiSTer

Look at the MiSTer wiki to find out more about the platform.

Hi, I just thought I'd mention that I recently made a game for the Sharp MZ-80A, and that it is currently available to buy on cassette (or download for free). It works on the MZ-80K and MZ-700 too.

Check it out at https://spillhistorie.no/minesnake/

Hi folks,
One of my first PC's was an MZ80K purchased in 1979/80 which I still have, A few weeks ago I found the PC in it's original box and thought I resurrect it. After a small explosion I spent 1 a week or so rebuilding the PSU and checking the main board over (some corroded contacts and re soldered joints later it fires up with *SP-1002 Monitor* - or something similar. Sadly the basic tape seems to be missing, I have a Debugger Tape and a Reclocator but no basic! SP2025 I think was shipped. I never had drives for this PC. I have downloaded from your site but how to get it onto a tape? - or can somebody supply me with a copy to get me going? I'd love to see it fire up again! Many thanks, Bill Cooper

Hello.
Just a thumbs up.
I'm so glad that this site still exists!
May it never be shut down. It is a great place to find detailed information about the good old Sharp series.
And a nice place to be nostalgic and read old adverts about the new era.

Keep up the good work!

Hi!

I'm trying to recover the old MZ-80A SUC disk library.

SharpMZ.org has the disks contents converted to tape format; but has anyone preserved the original disks collection or has been lost forever?

Kind regards to all Sharp fans!

I've made a crude LaTeX package that lets you typeset documents using all the characters in the MZ-721 character ROM provided on this website. To have a look, go to

http://djg.4t.com/

and download

mzfont.tar.gz

I have used it on Linux and Windows (and cygwin) without any worries.

Hi,

after not finding an emulator for the MZ-700 running on Android, I started coding some of the old games as a retro-reminder...

The app is called RetroRunner MZ and can be downloaded for free from the Google Playstore:

I'd be happy if you like the games... So farMan-Hunt, Painful Man and Land Escape are included.
