[WORLD PREMIERE] Dear #casio FX-9000P / #FX9000P owners and lovers ! This extremely rare computer is now fully and completely emulated to perfection on #Pockemul along with printout capabilities on the FP-10 and FP-40 printers (yes, with screen copy function). You will love it ^^
I knew this Casio FP-6000 model existed, but never found one or any picture of it! May I present you the FP-6000Jr! Interestingly, it has 2x 3.5" FDD embedded on the main unit. It was apparently only sold in The Netherlands and Scandinavia. Have you seen or heard of it ?
💫 En 1965 nació la Casio 001, nuestra primera calculadora de escritorio con función de memoria. Sesenta años después, seguimos presentes en el aula, haciendo las matemáticas más accesibles para todos.
Whooo remembers the Casio FX9000P computer?
Super Casio fan Andrew Menadue brought this one back to life with the help of Raspberry Pi.
The video RAM replacement PCBs were designed by Andrew; each one is placed on the FX9000P board and contains one of our RP2040 microcontroller chips.

I have been lucky to acquire a RAM board for my FP-6000. I am puzzled that it has 128KB RAM instead of 256KB. This one is expandable (16 free sockets). Does anyone have a picture of a 256KB board? Half of the banks are used, could I possibly use 32KB chips instead of 8KB? #fp6000
@issaUt Thank you for your reply. Yes of course I understand, no problem at all. I will only need to find a way to extract the rom from my own FX-9000P then, which does not sound easy ^ ^
@nemo20000@X1turboAgency Wow that is a detective work !!! There is INDEED an option Ram board inside ! So it may have some sort of malfunction I guess - I will take it out and redo the test
I am trying to restart my vintage Casio computers this week. However when I tried to start my FP-6000, it displays some kind of error message I do not understand. It looks like Japanese, but there are funny graphic characters as well. Any help is greatly appreciated !
@X1turboAgency Removing the I/F boards is a good idea, I will try that. However, the FP-6000 is different from the FP-3000 in this precise aspect : it has no C86-Basic in ROM, it needs to be loaded from diskette.
@nemo20000@X1turboAgency Ah yes of course ! I am mostly à software guy, so I never think about the hardware side of things ^ ^’ will try that, although I hate disassembling the 6000… so complicated !
