U.K . - J - Sharp Users Club Volume 34 Number 2 Editori al 6 BelleVue tel: 01305 783518 The Esplanade e-mail : [email protected] Weymouth Dorset DT4 8DR 24 November 2014 Voila! (as they say in France). Hereis Vol. 34 No. 2 ofthe Sharp User Club Magazine. , A bit late out of the blocks again, due mainly to 4 queries from a !arge group of Sharp enthusiasts in the Czech Republic that required a Iot of research in our archives. ln fact, the e-mail that contained those queries also carried a long Iist of Sharp MZ- hardware add-ons that have been produced by various members of this Czech group. This amazing Iist appears on pages 23-26 of this issue and is quite mouth­ watering, especially for those members of the SUC who use the MZ-700 or the MZ-800. And who would have thought that it would ever become possible to buy a high-quality replica ofthe MZ-1 E05 Floppy-Disk Card for the MZ-700/800 (which, l am sure, could also be used, after only very minor modifications, on the MZ-80A or the MZ-80B). The Czech queries appear on page 27 of th is issue, and are answered, as far as we are currently able, on page 28. These answers required a Iot of delving into our archives, and this process has led me to conclude that, for the record, we should perhaps publish a booklet giving full details of ALL the 'hardware kits ' that we ever produced, plus details of any special software that we wrote to go with them. The 'Czech Saga' forms the technical backbone ofthis issue. But we also have 2 very nostalgic contributions from Mike Smith and Joe Venor; a very interesting article from Ben Donnachie on MZ-80A Graphics; the usual bit by Paul Trainer on MZ material on the Web and MZ machines on Ebay; and a 'Sales' pageaffering a collection of virtually 'as new ' Sharp MZ-Manuals, all salvaged from oblivion by Mike Mallett. Plus some tips from John Edwards, re USB hubs and column formats in MS-Word. All in all, for a one-make computer club that started in 1980 and still going strong, a pretty remarkable issue, with a very wide spread of interest, and hardly anything written by yours truly. Long may this trend continue!! Piease remember to pay your Subscription for 2015, using the pull-out form at the centre ofthis issue. DO IT NOW, don 't wait till the New Year and then forget it!!!

The golden years were during the era ofthe MZ-80K, and whilst the 'K' was not a renowned gaming machine (except for Minotaur's Cave), I thought it might be useful to discuss the film in the hallowed pages ofthis Magazine.

  • Il BASIC Nei Personal E Home Computer Dal 1975 Al 1984
    Il BASIC nei personal e home computer dal 1975 al 1984 Schede Tecniche Storia dell’Informatica a.a 2015/2016 Romano Ceccatelli - hmr.di.unipi.it/Corso 1/37 MITS Altair 8800 Il MITS Altair 8800 è stato uno tra i primi microcomputer disponibili sul mercato. È stato sviluppato e commercializzato dalla Micro Instrumentation & Telemetry Systems, Inc. (MITS), azienda con sede ad Albuquerque (Nuovo Messico, USA). Era dotato di un'interfaccia basata su interruttori (24). Agendo su di essi si può programmare in codice binario, mentre il risultato delle elaborazioni viene visualizzato tramite il lampeggio dei LED (36) posti sul pannello frontale. Esso conteneva appunto 36 LED: 16 per il bus degli indirizzi, 8 per i dati, 8 per lo stato e i restanti erano usati per visualizzare lo stato della CPU. C’erano, inoltre, una serie di interruttori per inserire gli indirizzi e i dati, oltre ad un insieme di interruttori per il controllo del sistema. Bill Gates e Paul Allen decisero di scrivere un linguaggio di programmazione per far funzionare l'Altair. Il risultato fu una versione semplificata del BASIC chiamata Altair BASIC. Poiché diverse parti elettroniche non erano ancora disponibili al momento della progettazione, e per risolvere i problemi di NOME MITS Altair 8800 dimensione della scheda madre, fu necessario inventare un apposito connettore, oggi noto come bus: questa nuova struttura di AZIENDA E LUOGO MITS DI PRODUZIONE Albuquerque Nuovo trasferimento dati divenne in seguito uno standard, chiamato S- Messico USA 100. Con questo accorgimento fu possibile spostare parte della logica dalla scheda madre su altre schede, con cui comunicava ANNO 1975 tramite il bus.

  • The Long-Term Accessibility of Packaged Digital Publications
    NDL Research Report No. 6 The Long-term Accessibility of Packaged Digital Publications March 2006 National Diet Library This report is a summary of results obtained through surveys conducted by external research organizations on behalf of the National Diet Library. It has been published with the aim of sharing these results with many other libraries and related organizations. Preface As a part of its digital library operations, the National Diet Library (NDL) conducts research on digital libraries. In FY2003 and FY2004, we commissioned external research organizations to conduct studies relating to the long-term preservation of and establishment of access methods for packaged digital publications such as CD-ROMs. With dramatic advances in technology going on, digital information continuously assumes new forms, leading to the possibility that an increasing proportion of digital information stored in libraries and other places, even that which is only one generation old, will become obsolete and unplayable. Furthermore, there are different opinions in relation to the lifespan of the media on which digital information is recorded, and we are being urged to establish methods of preserving these media. These studies were initiated from a keen awareness that these issues are of vital importance to the NDL, whose duty is to collect, preserve and make available a large number of digital publications through the legal deposit system and other means. The subject of these studies was packaged digital publications held by the NDL. However, we think that the results are relevant not only to the NDL, but also to other libraries and related organizations in the field of library and information science.
