Hello friends,

MZ unicard for MZ 700 should be able to emulate PCG700 for MZ 700.
Any experience with this feature using Basic?

The UNICARD can emulate standard SHARP peripherals, such as Quick Disk, various RAM disks (RAM, SRAM, SROM, EMM), a floppy controller with 4 floppy disk drives, a serial interface, 80 cols expansions (SUC and K&P), PCG-700 and some newly created peripherals, such as an arithmetic unit ALU, RTC and potentially more, because the firmware is still being updated. The Unicard offers several communication interfaces (Ethernet - HTTP server, USB and RS-232 - USARTShell, 8-bit API MZFRepo).
But I believe PCG-700 can only be used with VGA output as UNICARD is not intervening in the original video circuit at all.
