40-column text modes on Sharp organisers with the 16-column IQ-707 BASIC card Wednesday, 2nd July 2025

Recent posts on here have taken a bit of a detour into Sharp Pocket Computer territory. When hunting down parts or accessories for them on eBay I'll occasionally be recommended other Sharp devices, such as their calculators or organisers, if an exact match for the thing I'm actually hunting for can't be found. Calculators are indeed a useful tool, so I appreciate those recommendations, but mid-1980s electronic organisers are not usually the sort of thing I'd be too interested in. However, some of Sharp's organisers are definitely worth a look, and these are often considerably cheaper to pick up second-hand than pocket computers or calculators.
