Newbie!



Hello everyone,

 

My name is Bob Sulley, and I am currently studying Mechatronic Engineering at University of Glamorgan in Wales.

 

As of yesterday I am the proud owner of a Sharp PC3100! First impressions are that it is great! Everything about it is great, the keyboard is so nice, and the screen is nice and clear - but you all probably already know this!

 

I have a couple of questions which I would like to ask.

 

First off - Does anyone run either a C Compiler or a BASIC interpreter on their Sharp?

 

Lastly - The Sharp doesn't have a backlight, has anyone devised a lighting device, utilising the supply from the serial port? I thought some kind of bar of LEDs (colour to be determined depending on what works best with the LCD screen) which came up perpendicular from the serial port??

 

Oh, one more, I paid £41 for mine, with nothing apart from the main part, good deal or not?

 

Cheers,

 

Bob.
