Subject: Sharp MZ-3500

A friend of mine has got an old Sharp MZ-3500 for free and asked
me if his his 9 years old son could use it to run some public 
domain games.
  There are two different system diskettes with it. EOS, I think
it is an CP/M 2.2 clone, and FDOS.

       Does anyone have information about this machine, these
       operating systems and what operating system to use?

       Does anyone have the 22DISK (a good shareware program to
       read CP/M diskettes in a MSDOS PC) definitions for the diskette
       types (the different system disks use different formatting,
       I tried to define the EOS format but failed, (to me, a very 
       strange sector order))?

       Does anyone know of suitable games for a 9 years old
       boy to run on it?

       Does anyone know the RS-232 pinout on the PCB connector
       (there is no real connector)?
