Related Items in Collection "The Works" - CE-150 Printer with Cassette interface, CE-201M RAM Card, CE-153 Software Board, CE-503B Circuit Analysis Cart, all docs (in French and English), cases, cables and plugs.
Related Items Wanted Additional Sharp/TRS-80 software


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.

Collection of Sharp PC 1500 and related items

The machine, printer and cabling all fit into a nice book-sized case.

Open case view of the Sharp PC 1500 case with associated gear

The open case reveals the contents. Most of the related items in the collection are pictured as well.

The Sharp CE 150 Printer

The computer could be attached to the printer/plotter which allowed for hardcopy output.

The Sharp PC 1500 Software Board

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.

I remembered seing a Sinclair Z80 that was brought back by a 'computer science' student from Canada. It uses CP/M OS and has a cassette tape storage. Any biography on the inventor? I think his name is (Sir) Clive Sinclair. A Brit.

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.

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.
