I was disappointed that PCN (issue 89) was so factually inaccurate on the Sharp MZ700 reviewed briefly along with 20 other machines. I would be grateful if you could put the record straight.

First, there are currently four disk drives for the MZ700. Two are Sharp products called FDOS and Quick Disk - the others are made by a company in Germany called Frank Kirsten. All four are sold in the UK, the most popular being Quick Disk.

Second, the statement that there is limited software and what there is comes mainly from Kuma is wildly inaccurate. As Solo Software is the main supplier for MZ700 software we resent the fact that we were excluded.

We currently have over 100 items of software for the MZ700 and are just about to release 45 more. We publish four books for machine users and offer a dozen peripherals.

I'm happy to correct the blunder on our part. Sharp owners will be interested in Solo's brochure which features a range of peripherals including speech synthesiser, modem and a number of interfaces - Ed
