The Sharp PC-1251 was one of Sharp's 3rd generation pocket computers. It was also sold by Radio Shack as the Pocket Computer PC3.
The PC-1251 in my collection came with that CE-125 printer and tape drive setup.
Also included were the full set of manuals for all of the devices.
As can be seen in the pictures, everything works perfectly and is in very good cosmetic shape.
