Some words about the history of this site | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
A bit later in 1998 I could move to Sascha's German homepage ( www.zock.com/khm ) by his kindly offer and he did patiently all my updates sent by e-mail. Due to a big server problem in June 1999 all sites on this server were unavailable for a few days and in the meantime I got the kindly offer by Thierry Schembri / France to move to his well known Computingmuseum-server. Now "http://www.sharpmz.computingmuseum.com" was born and later the name "http://www.sharpmz.org" was created. I found my first MZ-821 on a Northern Germany Easter-flea-market in 1995. In 2001 / 2002 I could buy by ebay auctions a MZ-80K with a lot of hardware, software, and informational materials and a MZ-40K with inbuilt option 1. Several MZ-700, MZ-800, and a MZ-80A, a MZ-80B, a MZ-3541, and a MZ-5600 were kindly spent in these years by two fans which stopped there SHARP-MZ-activities. All systems with a lot of hardware, software, and informational materials. I bought "tons" of old German and some English magazines published up from the years 1981 and some Japanese magazines ( Oh! MZ ) are available too. These carry a big source of information which will be used and referenced next here time by time. Sylvain Bizoirre ( President of the former French user club "The SHARPENTIERS" ), Arjan Habing ( a former member of the former Dutch user club MZ-GG, PUC, SUC, Neptunes Productions, and other clubs ), Reinhard Soetje ( a former member of the SUC / UK ), and other fans kindly provided me with a lot of the old club magazines which contain many information too. Information contained in several books and in operating / installation / service manuals spent from these fans are waiting for its preparation now. Thanks a lot to you all for your help. At this point I decided to redesign my existing pages, to change its
outfit completely, and to expand my site to all MZ's I own now. I'm
very thankful to all visitors and to all fans who helped and want to
help in the future to keep this site alive. |

In 1998 the only MZ-700-emulator I could find in the Internet is designed
by Marukun / Japan. He kindly changed his emulator for European
standard ( ASCII, English ) by my request. Next Michael
Franzen's and Matthias Koeppe's emulators
followed and later the emulators of Bernd Krueger-Knauber and Zdenek Adler ( Windows
/ DOS, Java,
and 8050 ).
The emulators of Shogo Okamoto ( unfinished
), Jaroslav Kysela, Tony
Friery, Roman
Dolejsi, and Michal Medek which I all found by
chance while surfing around. |
