Sharp did a whole stack of these pocket machines. I think the PC-1275 was
the most common (small black thing) - in fact, you can still get them today
brand new... (I forget where exactly, it was part of a yacht navigation
system IIRC).

I think I've got three PC-1360s, maybe four - just the machines in their
slip cases. I also have a whole stack of 8k & a few 32k RAM cards to go in
them. Unfortunately, I don't have any instruction manuals or boxes. One of
them (+ some spare ram cards) is yours for the cost of shipping or a swap
of something similar in size/weight.
I've also got 3 or 4 PC1275's, but most of them don't work (they were badly
abused in a past life).
A company I used to work for used literally thousands of various models of
these machines, and I (for my sins) had to look after them all - this
mostly involved swapping out broken ones & re-loading the software on them.
Somewhere, I have a copy of a piece of software called TransfilePC which
allowed one to develop/store PC-xxxx software on your PC, then download it
to the Sharp via the parallel port. I have the connector cable, but I seem
to have lost the disc with the software on it :(
