I had a Sharp PC-E 500. I even wrote an operating system with password manager, draw, rtf editor programs, and chat via parallel port. Bricked it multiple times when doing peek and poke commands to lock it down so only login people who logged in properly could use it.

I remember being proud of conpressing 16 pixels of my monochrome draw program into a character.

An emulator (written in Delphi for Windows) and more information on the AI-1000 and the closely related PB-2000C (which runs C compiled to some sort of p-code) can be found at http://www.pisi.com.pl/piotr433/pb2000ee.htm

PockEmul (https://github.com/matsumo/PockEmul) also seems to support emulating the PB-2000C and AI-1000.

I learned programming around 1985 on one of these Casio pocket computers. It ran Basic interpreter not lisp. Incredible little machine. It looked like this: https://www.ebay.com/itm/143595147094 I probably would not be a software engineer at a top company today without it.

Did I have Nokolisp running on Atari Portfolio in 1989? No recollection of anykind. Must have been, because why not?

But I had very serious floating point computing needs, because GPS was not yet invented. I managed to install Turbo Pascal in it and steal someones Nautical Almanac - algorithms.
