The successor of the MZ 2200. The characteristics, especially the graphic characteristics, are impressive, it is one of the most powerful of the MZ computer series.
|
|
|
|
It takes from 2 to 8 seconds to define P.C.G (user generated characters, similar to sprites) with the Sharp X1 serie, while it takes only 0.5 seconds with the MZ-2500.
|
|
|
|
It has features in common with the [X1](/museum/sharp-x1-cz-800c/) series and will be replaced with these computers.
