I wonder how many people are still around who used one of these: The
Sharp MZ-80K.

A school-friend had one, maybe he still has?

They were quite popular in the UK

I don't think I'd agree they were popular here, they may have been technically good machines, my friend's father would likely have chosen
it on that basis, but I never heard of anyone else having one.

A couple of my friends had the later MZ-800 models I think but I don't
think I've ever seen an MZ-80K.

Well they were around a bit before the real surge in home computers.
To my mind they were a competitor of the PET. Like the PET it was
fairly expensive and people I knew had stuff like the UK101, Atom, >Microtan-65 and Nascom-1 in early 1980. By 1982 that had all changed,
none of those machines (with maybe the exception of the Atom) were seen
as particularly desirable. Generally the MZ80K got the occasional
listing in some of the computer magazines of 1982 (and maybe 1983) so
there must have still been some around.
