-      I am sitting in my office coding in .net and the like, and on my right is my Sharp MZ-80K that started it all! And it has a hi-res graphics card :-o
-
-      Like others, it was my first computer. My dad bought it for me, as I was a sickly child with really bad asthma and eczema and he thought that an active life-style wouldn’t be an option (he was wrong by the way).
-
-      I remember the Orange BASIC book that came with it, which I trawled through again and again to learn how to use this new machine. There was a TRON light-cycle like game in there over several pages called something like “Mr Smith and Mr Jones”, which I laboriously typed in with 1 finger. I remember being very upset when I accidentally cleared the screen and I thought I’d lost it all. That’s when I discovered the LIST command :-)

-      Though it looked like a Norse ship it was in fact meant to represent the Argo and thus a voyage of discovery.
-
-      If one sees the MZ80K M/C or Assembler Manuals the ship is larger and the figures on it can be seen to be Greek, also it is accompanied by a map indicating\
-      Okeanos\
-      Hippomolgen\
-      Hyperboreer\
-      Phonicien,etc
-
-      oh and what''s this just beneath the Argo\
-      ahh THIS IS SPARTA!
-
-      sorry

-      P.S. Did anyone work out what the whole Norse Viking ship thing was about on all the manuals and software and branding?
-
-      That still puzzles me to this day....why?

-      Like Paul and Dean this was the first computer I used at age 9/10- at some point in the early 80''s, and started to learn BASIC on it. Early memories were trying to get Spectrum and other BASIC games to work on it (and failing).
-
-      I also played Space Invaders on it! Like the Spectrum it seemed to have a good catalogue of games.

I also doubled the tape speed of the cassette drive by halving the circumference of the drive wheel and also double the cpu clock speed with a switch at the back!! Those were the days!!! :-)

I learned the basic and soon, the Z-80 assembly language : I needed speed for the plateform games I was trying to devellop. The tape was... so slow that I could spend hours trying to get something out of the ''Z-80 Machine language Reference Manual'', while it was loading. \*very\* funny, as you can think ;)'

-    text: Like Dean, the MZ80K was the first computer I ever used (I was probably about 8 at the time). I used to play "Block Kuzushi" and Space Invaders to death! Does anyone know if these games are available to download anywhere? I've still got the machine but it's not in full working order any more...

-      Hello,
-
-      does anyone know how I can copy my MZ-80K-disk into the PC ?
-
-      I tried CPDREAD, but it cannot. May be it is unable to read a sector size lower than 256 bytes ?
-
-      Best wishes\
