This website is about the superb Sharp MZ-800 home computer from the first half of the 1980s. There is an excellent peripheral called Unicard for this machine. That's why you won't find any older obsolete MZ interfaces here.

All presented Information, documents and software are (no longer) for sale or used to earn money. Materials relate mostly to the MZ-800, partly also to its predecessors.

In some countries, there are hypertrophied individualistic laws that (from unknown reasons) prevent whatever sharing of abandonware and its use for pure hobby and non-commercial purposes. Especially if you, Dear visitor, are from Japan, any copy of original manuals, software and other materials will be welcome. Please write to 8bit # samcoupe * cz
