Sharp MZ-40K

1978


The MZ-40K uses 4-bit technology even though the Z80-age had already begun. There are no expansion possibilities, for example like storing the keyed-in music data onto external tape. And it offers no way of learning programming languages or programming logic, or finding out how computers work. It seems possible that Sharp did not sell all the MZ-40Ks they produced.

El MZ-40K utiliza tecnología de 4 bits a pesar de la edad Z80 ya había comenzado. No hay posibilidades de expansión, por ejemplo como el almacenamiento de los datos de música tecleadas en una cinta externa. Y ofrece ninguna forma de aprender lenguajes de programación o la lógica de programación, o descubrir cómo funcionan las computadoras. Parece posible que Sharp no se vendió todo el MZ-40Ks que producían.
