Sharp MZ-2500

Sharp · 1985

The last and best MZ: a 6MHz Z80, 256-colour capability, four-voice FM sound and a genuinely sophisticated architecture, in 1985 — the high-water mark of Z80 design by anybody. Sold only in Japan and only briefly, because the market had moved to 16 bits. A serious enthusiast's machine.
