15-Pin SIO Connector
|
The 15-pin SIO (serial input-output) connector is a standard one Sharp that has used for some
time--most of their pocket computers use this connector for serial input/output. |

The 11-pin connector is a proprietary Sharp interface used to connect printers, cassette interfaces,
and pocket floppy drives. It can also be used to transfer programs between some pocket
computers with the EA-129C cable. |

9-Pin & 25-Pin Connectors |
These are the standard Amphenol connectors commonly used for RS-232 serial communications. |
Desktop Calculators |
Sharp produced a number of programmable desktop calculators in the early 1970s prior to
the handheld devices. These machines were programmed by hand, with some having a magnetic
card system which could store programs and data.
