SANYO MBC-1150: CP/M operating system

I use this computer occasionally at home.
Assembly and BASIC languages, and Wordstar and CalcStar.

I had three of these machines made in the 80's in Japan.
All of them with 64KB of RAM running on Zilog Z80 uP, RS232 serial and Centronics parallel ports. Storage based on 5 1/4" floppy disks.

One MBC-1000 and one MBC-1250 dual Z80 cpu with graphics support are gone long time ago (sold to physical museums).

I still have this MBC-1150 with me, as it reminds me of the great era of "personal" computing.
In fact many companies have run their business on these low cost computers as well.
