The PC1600 has a genuine RS232 interface. This can be connected to a PC via FTDI USB.

Here is a good guide:

The pitch of 1.27mm is very small for soldering. But I will try it now. Perhaps I'll find an adapter from 1.27 to 2.54mm.

Of course, one could also attach an Arduino to the serial interface and then backup the programs to an SD card... Interesting project :-)

Best regards,
Tobie

The same user has made a batch of 30 USB Stick interface module for Sharp PC-1600. Obviously, the 30 devices have been sold.
