Hey folks... this isn't REALLY off-topic because, as everyone knows by now, I
only collect calculators that also have PDA functions... i.e. computers.
My latest find is a Sharp EL-8160, circa 1978/1979. This isn't the "first"
PDA, but it's still a (very) early example.
I can make it display letters on the screen, but I can't figure out how to make
it save the data. I know the function works because, when it came in the mail
and I turned it on, there was some former owner's memo on the screen!
Does anyone have, or did anyone once own, a Sharp EL-8160? If so I could use a
manual or some help.
