Thanks for your interest, it's an enormous amount of job to scan, process and upload these materials but I couldn't stand the idea of they getting lost forever if I could help it, and with Eric Rechlin's invaluable help it seems their chances at preservation are improving.

Quote:Am I remembering correctly that there was a backlog of some additional Sharp programs/materials still waiting? Not sure if that was something that got uploaded already and I just missed it. My newly-restored CE-122 printer for my PC-1211 could use a bit more to chew on.

You're remembering correctly, a batch of some 64 programs I wrote circa 1980 for the groundbreaking SHARP PC-1211 aka TRS-80 PC-1 is awaiting its turn. I've scanned all the listings and edited them manually for missing/faded/blurry/ambiguous characters, and I'm right now documenting them a little (including some sample runs when possible) by keying them in into a defective but workable unit (leaked display). This will take several months.

When everything's done I'll upload them to Eric's for further processing & OCR'ing, PDF creation and finally making them available at my site.

Best regards.
