Sharp PC-G850VS

New version of the manual has been posted. I was able to find instructions on both STAT mode and BASE-n in the Japanese manual. Google translate was helpful as a starting point. I managed to figure out what was going on by playing around with them. Download link for the manual is on post #39.

Major Changes:

1. Addition of chapter on how to use STAT mode.
2. Addition of section on how to use BASE-n
   

Minor Changes

1. Clarification of pin locations of 11-pin interface (thanks SMP).
2. Expansion of BLOAD/BSAVE to include tape (please verify. I don't have a tape recorder to test).
   

To-Do

1. Verify that information on foroplus' website is the same as in the manual
2. Incorporate additional examples from foroplus' website (thanks to foroplus who gave permission).
   

One interesting fact I noted (and it's indirectly mentioned in the manual), if you create a program that starts with line number 100 and save it to the internal file space as "BASE_N.BAS", the BASE-n key will run that program instead of the internal BASE-n program. This allows one key execution of a program. This will, however, overwrite any BASIC program in memory (which is why I put it in the calculations chapter rather than in its own chapter as this operation is destructive, unlike STAT mode). Please let me know if there are any errors or clarifications needed.
