Sharp PC-2500 Users Guide

[robve]

The PC-2500 works very well, despite its age. Very glad with this acquisition. I have plotter pens and paper. The manual explains the printer commands in BASIC, but leaves some details out that got me into trouble because I am used to the PC-1500 commands.

To keep my sanity I put together a cheat sheet for printing with the PC-2500:
  plotting.txt (Size: 2.72 KB / Downloads: 3)

Three cool BASIC programs:

  flower.txt (Size: 1.12 KB / Downloads: 3) flower drawing demo program originally for the PC-1500, short but sweet!

  globe.txt (Size: 6.8 KB / Downloads: 2) a globe drawing program initially for the PC-1500, very cool!

  alcatraz.txt (Size: 7.06 KB / Downloads: 2) an auto-learning game I wrote, gets smarter the more you play (uses AI, no plotting)

  alcatraz-manual.txt (Size: 1.95 KB / Downloads: 2) instructions to play alcatraz

Load with CLOAD from a PC with bas2img --pc=2500 file.txt and bin2wav --pc=2500 file.img, see Pocket Tools for SHARP Pocket Computers.
