Re: OT: SHARP PC1600... Help :-( Message #7 Posted by Klaus on 18 Oct 2006, 2:26 a.m., in response to message #3 by gileno Which program do you run on the PC? Are the settings the same? And do you have a built-in serial port, or do you use a USB-to-Serial cable? A very good resource is: http://www.sharp-pc-1600.de/ENG_Uebertragung.html

Re: OT: SHARP PC1600... Help :-( Message #9 Posted by GE on 19 Oct 2006, 4:58 a.m., in response to message #8 by gileno As a side question (sorry to disturb), is your PC1600 eating batteries ? Mine uses them much more quickly than the 1500 (not alarming, yet).

Mine uses them much more quickly than the 1500 (not alarming, yet)." Yes, mine does too and it's pretty much to be expected when you consider that the SHARP PC-1500 has a single LH-5801 8-bit CMOS CPU running at 1.3 Mhz, while the much more powerful SHARP PC-1600 does have two CPUs, namely a Z80-compatible, 8-bit SC7852 CMOS CPU running at a much faster 3.58 Mhz, plus an additional LH5803 CMOS 8-bit CMOS CPU, for backward PC-1500 machine-language compatibility. The vastly increased CPU speed plus the very extra CPU does mean increased power consumption, notwithstanding other hardware factors. Best regards from V. Edited: 19 Oct 2006, 6:36 a.m.

Re: OT: SHARP PC1600... Help :-( Message #12 Posted by GE on 3 Nov 2006, 3:26 a.m., in response to message #11 by gileno Just a quick message to let you know that after seeing some interest here for the 1600 I just got another one (you collectors can foind a reason for this...) at www.underwooddist.com I know businesses souldn't be advertised here, but finding old stuff in perfect shape, quickly and reliably shipped overseas (I'm in Europe) deserves some mention. Now ready to eat even more batteries !!
