UniCMT


UniCMT is a modern cassette tape replacement for SHARP MZ-700, MZ-800 and MZ-1500 computers. It allows you to record programs and data to and from your computer via a modern storage device - a USB flash drive.

In addition to the standard speed used by cassette recorders, which is fully compatible with all programs, it can also operate at significantly higher speeds, up to 55 times faster. This way you can run a program that used to take about 5 minutes to load from a cassette recorder now in less than 6 seconds.

The built-in file manager makes programs launching simple and straightforward without any modification to your computer needed. The UniCMT takes the place of the built-in cassette recorder.
