1.2 Expansion equipments
A variety of peripheral devices is
available
for expanding the MZ-80B personal computer system.
FIGURE 1.3 shows a typical expanded system configuration. With the floppy disk drive, numerous
data and program files can be stored and accessed at high speed. With the printer, hard copies of list-
ings and printed graphic patterns can be obtained. This improved processing efficiency, resulting in
a wider range of applications.
The MZ-80B dual floppy disk drive uses a double density mini-floppy diskette (286K bytes/disket-
te) with a diameter of 5.25 inches, both sides of which are used for recording. It enables use of the
DISK BASIC interpreter, which is suitable for practical business applications of the double precision
DISK BASIC interpreter, which performs 16 digit BCD operations. Thus, the expanded system ex-
hibits an ability which is comparable with that of larger computers with the aid of a variety of the
floppy disk operating system software.
The compact MZ-80P5 line printer enables not only program listing, but also graphic pattern
print-
ing in the image mode.
