Great! I can't wait to see the pictures and detailed story of your Sharp PC-1300S...
Sharp, which is unfortunately in trouble these days, was a very innovative company who scored quite a number of "firsts" during the early days of the electronic calculators and BASIC pocket PCs: first hand help calculator (EL-8), first CMOS calculator (EL-801), first LCD calculator (EL-805), first BASIC pocket PC (PC-1211)...
I have a few old Sharps, I love their design and build quality (they all work fine 30 to 40 years later).
The PC-1300/S is on my whish list but it seems to be a rare and expensive beast :-(
