Question for the #RetroComputing community: has anyone ever heard of "Sharp Intelligent System" as a kind of software for X1 computers? Just Googling for "シャープインテリジェントシステム" returned nothing, and I'm not sure what old magazines to look in to find more information.

Sharp X1 Twin playing Street Fighter II Champion Edition

Sharp X1 Twin Computer / PC Engine combo unit

Sharp X1 Twin and Street Fighter 2 Champion Edition hucard

The Sharp X1 Twin is definitely a very strange one. It's a Japanese PC Engine (TurboGrafx 16 here in the US) built into a Sharp X1 8 bit computer. It is surprising they chose the X1 platform instead of NEC's own PC-8800 line of computers

Turbo Typin’ Repair of a rotted cable on a Sharp X1turbo’s keyboard

New blog post! Have you ever seen a cable this bad before? Sharp X1 keyboards are melting from old "soft-touch" plasticizer. To fix this, I made the cord detachable, just like today's modern cool-kid keyboards. Am I cool yet?
