I, too, bought one because the English manual is now available. Then I had to get the EA-23E US AC adapter, the CE-126P printer/cassette interface, a whole lot of EA-1250P paper for the printer, and a CE-152 cassette recorder, just to complete the Sharp system. I'm still looking for a CE-T800 or CE-T801 data transfer cable.

Have you seen the benchmarks for this pocket computer?

Assembly language is pretty speedy! I see a Turbo mode listed for it as well. The manual doesn't mention that so I'll have to Google it. If it's a software change only, I'll probably try it. I'm not going to hack the hardware, though, except maybe to add a piezo beeper as mentioned in the manual.
