I have been using a SHARP PC-1500 for quite some time.  The standard
programming interface to the PC-1500 is the BASIC interpreter.  I was
curious as to whether or not assembly-language style programming is an
undocumented feature of the PC-1500, and if there is a manner of doing
"peek" and/or "poke" directly into memory to either acquire greater
performance, or to read things like the internal timer directly in a
numeric format rather than with the TIME$ operations.

Does anybody have any experience with this?
