Features of the
MZ-700 Series
In the space
of
just
a few decades, the
computer
has undergone a dramatic transformation, changing
from an intricate, enormously expensive monster weighing several dozen tons
into
a compact, inexpensive
device
wp.ich can be used by almost anyone. Whereas access
to
computers used
to
be limited
to
a few
privileged individuals with special training, the inexpensive, user-friendly machines
now
available make
the world
of
computing open
to
people in all different walks
of
life. The Sharp MZ-700 series computers
are
representative
of
such machines.
People use words and expressions to convey meanings.
Computers
of
the Sharp
MZ
-700 series, however, convey meaning through an ordinary television set
or
special printer.
Any
TV set can be used, either color
or
black-and-white; or,
you
may invest in one
of
the special display screens available
if
you
want greater resolution and sharpness;
you
will be surprised
at the beauty which
is
provided
by
such displays.
A tape recorder can be connected
to
computers
of
the Sharp MZ-700 series
to
record programs, the
instructions which control the operation
of
the computer. When printed records
of
such programs
or
of
the results
of
computer processing are desired,
they
can be obtained
on
the MZ-700's compact, elegantly
designed 4-color plotter-printer.
MZ-731
Note: In the remainder
of
this manual, the term "MZ-700" will be used
to
indicate any
of
the computers
of
the MZ-700 series (the MZ-711, MZ-721, and MZ-731).
