The glorious era of Basic pocket computers was the 80's, and the early 90's brought both very cool model, and the dawn of the breed. This machine is one of the latest ones, with a "large" 32KB RAM (very extendable, too) and PC connection ability (cable needed).
Apparently designed as a counterpart for CASIO models (Casio introduced 4 lines displays when Sharp only offered 1 line machines), the Sharp offers what it takes to compete.
The "engineer software" is SHARP's equivalent of the "scientific library", introduced by CASIO with FX-850P computers. It offers a variety of pre-programmed formulas and datas directly in ROM. The Sharp also allows the addition of custom programs in the library directory.
