HP and me. (And a sharp PC-1300S

[HPing]

See the rare Sharp PC-1300 Pocket Computer presentation by Geoff Quickfall at HHC 2024. I enjoyed the video:

1. There were three books from Sharp AFIK (Geoff Translated the first 2 into English PDF form):
**1300 owner's manual (black & white cover, ~64 pages)
**1300s supplementary manual (white cover, ~4 pages)
**1300 programming book (brown & white cover, ~325 pages)

> I could help with a bit of translation from Japanese as needed.

2. Few were made and the serial numbers were not continuous. I did a quick search and found about a dozen in various states of repair, principally from forums and auctions:
