Sharp MZ-1500 Notes

In the process of renovation and learning to use the Sharp MZ-1500, this section will be filled with notes not generally available on the web.

The first observation I have made, in comparison to the MZ-800 which shares a likeness but the circuitry differs, is that it uses proper bus control buffers all controlled by the Z80 BUSACK. This will make for a smoother installation of the tranZPUter SW v2.2 without modification.

Other notes will be added below as I stumble on them.

Where I have used or based any component on a 3rd parties design I have included the original authors copyright notice within the headers or given due credit.
