New in the family : PC-1500 RP !
Do you remember the PC-1500 RP2 found in Brazil ?
This new one is the RP and it’s the same for the printer.
This is a full set with all accessories and manuals. The instruction manual is only a bad copy.
The case is very clean ! And all accessories are present : power adapter, pens, paper, cables…
And the papers too : connector cover for the printer, sticker for name.
And the big surprise is the PC-1500RP 8K memory module. Uh, all seems to be named PC-1500RP…
The case is like the one the the PC-1500RP2 but with two rivets on each side. This makes it stronger.
Differences between the RP and RP2 ? None !
Each time the serials are same for the pocket computer and the printer.

In conclusion i think the RP version is the PC-1500 without memory module (or with 8K) and the RP2 is provided with the 16KB module (Remember the PTA-4000 and PTA-4000+16).
Not much differences but we can consider the two versions.
Now we have 11 PC-1500 versions !
Like Status Quo, in the army now, oh-oo-oh…
Do you know that the Sharp PC-1500 was used in the army ?
In this picture we can confirm with a big surprise : it was in the Chinese army !
Who can believe this ? A Japan pocket computer in the Chinese army… but maybe was it the Nanfeng version…
I don know much about it’s use but it’s in a rugged box with a waterproof keyboard mask.
The logo seems to be Chinese Air Force or Airborne.
I would be please if one of my Chinese readers could tell us the item’s story and send us more pictures.
Can someone help me to get one ? I really like it !!!
Do you know similar use in your country ?

Unique item : ergonomic Sharp PC-1500 stand
This is a unique piece machined in the late 80’s by a machine shop in Hamburg.
The owner of a PC-1500 was disappointed by the angle of view of the LCD.
So he decided to ask a machine shop to build him the perfect stand for viewing and typing.
It’s made in aluminum (AU4G) and it’s weight is 1,8Kg.
I’m very happy to present you this unique item :

Added to the menu : “Help needed”
Building this website to remind the worldwide story of the Sharp PC-1500 is a crazy hobby. We are in 2015, 33 years after the first PC-1500, and lot of informations are going to disappear in the next years. All the people having worked on the PC-1500 projects, all the club members, all the resellers, all the users are from 50 to 80 years old. Some contacts told me “i have cleaned my house and don’t have anything left”, “all is gone to trash some years ago”… That’s very sad, isn’t it ?
A few months ago i have installed a statistic tool and each month i can see the really nice result of 3000 unique visitors and 7000 visits ! Do we need better proof that the PC-1500 is still popular in 2015 ? NO ! Thank you to all my readers ! Some comments on the articles or guestbook are welcome 😉
But some help is needed to save PC-1500 related items and papers before they go trash !
This is the role of my “Help needed” menu. It tell how you can help me and what i’m currently looking for.
Thank you all !
Eric.
Sharp PC-1500 made in China… and PC-1500A too
A few weeks ago i told you about a PC-1500 made in China but now both versions were made in China too. These are not the NANFENG but real Sharp. I think that the NANFENG was the first in this country and later Sharp decided to produce on his own brand.
Do you have mode informations ?
