Unfortunately, I've got this card without a box and instruction manual, and the card was never listed in Sharp's IC card catalogs from what I know. But it's a genuine retail card and not based on a Basic/EPROM card from the looks of it.

Based on what I can make out, I think it might be software for connecting the organizer to some kind of electronic sign and programming it with messages.

The first three buttons down the left are for selecting a text/letter/graphic input mode. The two under those, I'm not quite sure. They might be for transmitting data and other special functions.

The next column of five buttons are for choosing a display schedule: year-round, by month, by day of week, by date (of month?), by hour.

The four in the upper right appear to do double duty as color selection, and character set selection: red/original characters, green/personal characters (user dictionary?), orange/code, black/symbol.

Then below those are typical editor functions: delete, insert, cancel, help, select/execute.

So based on all that, and the fact that it's labeled "Art Sign Card", I'm guessing it doesn't have a ton of use without a compatible sign and cable to go with it. Smile But if you can find a three-color electronic sign from Seiko made around 1990, then this might be what you would use to program it.
