Well, here’s the first news: Blue brother arrived with his printer, in a nice briefcase.

PC-1500D_001

That’s a long time since I was looking for and patience paid off.
Here are some pictures from all angles:

PC-1500D_002

PC-1500D_003

PC-1500D_004

On Japanese sites it has the reference Sharp PC-1500D.
But, to my knowledge, there is nothing to give this name.
Its serial number is very interesting because it puts to the latest PC-1500 manufactured and before the PC-1500A.

PC-1500D_005

Internally it is a version A04 identical to the other PC-1500 A04.

No, the only thing that distinguishes it is blue.
Nay, superb blue !!!

This is the ninth of the family.

PC-1500 : The Book of the Grail

Who has not wanted to know exactly what happens in the machine?
I remember rumors that spoke of an amazing book in which we could understand everything … on the PC-1600.
Oh yes, I searched long and I abandoned my quest for the Grail.

6 months ago, a friend offered me some books on the PC-1500.
He told me “there is a book with commented ROM listing.”
I thought it was for the PC-1600 but he told me the title: PC-1500 Intern
What?? For the PC-1500?? Great!

Wow, what a thrill opening my package and discovering this book among other treasures …
Here it is:
