IEEE 200-1975 or "Standard Reference Designations for Electrical and Electronics Parts and Equipments" is a standard that was used to define referencing naming systems for collections of electronic equipment. IEEE 200 was ratified in 1975. The IEEE renewed the standard in the 1990s, but withdrew it from active support shortly thereafter.
NEC Laboratories America was created in November 2002 through the merger of NEC Research Institute and NEC USA's Computer and Communications Research Laboratory. [14] NEC Laboratories succeeded in sending over 100 terabits of information per second through a single optical fibre in April 2011, establishing a new world record. [15]
The Sharp PC-14xx series (like the Sharp PC-1403 (1986), PC-1403H or PC-1475) uses an 8-bit extended ASCII character set. With minor exceptions the lower half resembles the 7-bit ASCII character set. [1] [2] The upper half contains a full set of half-width Katakana glyphs as well as a number of graphical and mathematical symbols.

Sharp measured the display's half-life at 1,000 hours, at which point the display will lose half its brightness. The display is removable, and Sharp provided replacement displays through mail order for US$49 (equivalent to $140 in 2024). Sharp also provided the option to replace the default white backlighting element with a green element. [11]
On Sharp MZ computers, there are two types of character sets: An interchange character set (called an "ASCII code" in the documentation [1] [2]) and a display character set. The interchange set is primarily used for keyboard input, while the display sets are primarily used for rendering text on the screen.
The system unit, displays and storage devices were all developed by NEC, and manufactured by New Nippon Electric. [17] Printers were provided from Tokyo Denki (Toshiba TEC) because NEC had only developed expensive printers for mainframes. [19] Other NEC divisions didn't appreciate the project before the PC-8001 went on sale.
