==Product specifications== Programs are entered into the MPF-I using [[Zilog Z80|Z80]] [[machine code]] in [[hexadecimal]] format. The MPF-I [[Machine code monitor|monitor program]] displays both an address and data stored at that address simultaneously using a [[seven-segment display]]. There is a spare [[Dual in-line package|DIP]] socket for adding additional [[Read-only memory|ROM]] or [[Random-access memory|RAM]] to the MPF-I. There are also two [[Phone connector (audio)|3.5 mm audio jacks]] on the top right of the computer, these are to communicate with the audio cassettes that are used to store programs and code typed into the machine. One is used to read the drive and the other is used to write data; on a conventional audio [[cassette deck]] the wires would be connected to the headphone and microphone ports.<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.retrotechnology.com/restore/cass_data.html|title=Computer Data Cassette Formats|website=retrotechnology.com|access-date=2019-10-25}}</ref> This type of data storage is similar to that of a [[TRS-80|Radio Shack TRS-80]] or the [[ZX81|Sinclair ZX-81]], which similarly used audio cassettes to store programs the user typed, as well as commercial programs and games the user could buy.
