Interesting Find

Found an interesting (at least to me) luggable/portable at the local thrift the other day. It's a Sharp PC-7100. Very compact and sharp (no pun) design. About half the size and weight of an old Compaq, with a detatchable keyboard, tiltable LCD screen, 5.25 floppy, 20 meg hard drive. It booted fine from the hard drive (MSDOS 3.2). I haven't taken the time to open it up and look inside, but I ran MSD from a floppy, and it reported the computer to be a Sharp/ERSO, 8088 or 8086 processor, 704k RAM. When I browsed the ROM memory, the result was: aVADEM-SHARP Personal Computer System Firmware Version 3.0B copyright 1985 Vadem Inc. I did a cursory search on the net for more information but came up empty, so if anyone can help with more info or docs for this one, I would appreciate it. BTW, the screen has a blue/purple sort of tint to it. Kind of attractive in a psychodelic sort of way ( oh please, no more drug-related threads <g>). Cliff Gregory cgregory(a)lrbcg.com
