Welcome to MZ-80A Secrets. I'm building this site as a very simple repository for all information regarding the Sharp MZ-80A computer. As there is some crossover between the MZ-80K and MZ-700 you may find some information regarding those machines here as well but my primary focus is the 80A. If you're looking for downloads then you'll need to visit my archive. Enjoy!
