Category: Fx-890p

A few years after the successful fx-850p pocket computer (1987) and many similar models, Casio decided to produce thicker models,with the same keyboard but with a screen of 4 lines instead of 2.

These pocket computers are Z1(18ko) , Z1-GR (18ko) and FX-890p (51ko).

They allow you to develop in different languages such as Basic, C or in assembly language. Their ram is extendable thanks to a RP-8 (8ko) or RP-33 (32ko) module and they use the same device as the other models of the series as FA-6 interface or FP-40 printer.

They were mainly produced for Japanese market, that’s why they are quite impossible to find.Thanks to PockEmul, they are now in your pocket.

Enjoy.

You certainly remember the programmable pocket computers and calculators that appeared in the late ’70s and had their golden age in the following decade.

Many computer scientists today have made their first steps with them. Those who have turned to other passions, keep the memory of having lived the genesis of a science that has today invaded our lives.

If you have not kept your vintage machine, or dream of typing on models that were inaccessible to you, PockEmul can satisfy your nostalgia by reliving these wonderful technological objects back inside your smartphone or tablet.
