@discatte Oh wow, this thing is neat as heck. I had to look it up. I thought it would have to be something like 1989 or so, but no... Apparently 1983??? 
ᓚᘏᗢ @discatte@digipres.club@nazokiyoubinbou yeah they did it right, and elegantly really early on!
@discatte Super impressive considering the actual tech level of the time.
This sort of thing is all before my time, but I've been learning a lot about some of the tech of that sort of time period out of curiosity lately and despite its limitations this is pretty neat. Especially managing to set up a magnetic induction for transferring the data.
I couldn't find anything about it connecting to computers though. Still, your alt text pretty much says it all. Basically the same as the keyboard, just a serial connection.
I suppose all it could do was text?
@nazokiyoubinbou internally its just pages of unstructured text, so you can 'sync' whatever into that. addresses, schedules, etc
@discatte Too bad it doesn't do more than that. Especially with only 2000 characters of storage.
Still, for 1983 this is hecking neat.
@nazokiyoubinbou it is capable of running compiled programs too, which would have required a rare 8bit computer, but folks have learned how to make things for it and upload.
@discatte Ah! Then it can do more! That would be so neat IMO. Very limited I know, but still...
I found it weirdly hard to find info on the serial interface.
