The Sharp PC-1500 was a (large) calculator style PC with a full host of both calculator and computer features. It can be programmed in BASIC as well as machine language.
The machine, printer and cabling all fit into a nice book-sized case.
The open case reveals the contents. Most of the related items in the collection are pictured as well.
The computer could be attached to the printer/plotter which allowed for hardcopy output.
The Sharp CE 153 Soft Ware Board was an elaborate user interface addition to the PC 1500 that added programmable buttons to the system in the form of a fairly large board. The CE 153 in the collection appears unused and has only been out of the box for these pictures. (In other words, I don't know how to use it, yet.
The biggest obstacle is the fact that the PC 1500 itself is not currently working. The search is on for a replacement unit since repair attempts have been futile.

Hi, I'm getting a Check 6 message when I turn
on my PC1500 + Printer/Cassette Interface. The
printer manual says that this means that the
Interface is not fully charged (page 102). Of
course there are no batteries user accessible on
the interface so:
1) Does anyone know of a fix for this or how to
access the batteries?
2) Are there other possible explanations for
the Check 6?
Thanks in advance.

Sharp PC 1500A. Condition; as new. Used maybe few hours. I can send photos and maybe search for original manual and docs in the attic :
Take out the batteries and leave it for a bit... put them back in again and retry, that may reset the memory and allow you to enter programs ok.

I have a sharp pc 1500a. If I enter program, it
gives me error 13, meaning exceeded memory. If I
type mem then enter, it gives me zero (0). Is
there not a built-in ram for this unit. If there
is, how can I check or activate it? The memory
expansion slot at the back is empty. Do I need
one to make it accept program. Please help.
Vic
