The Sharp 3101 was sold with a monochrome screen, an Epson printer and double 5.25" floppy drive.

It was possible to connect up to 8 drives. It also sports a battery-backed clock.

Another model was launched a little while later: the Sharp 3200, which had the "standard" text screen size (80 columns and 25 lines).
