Model:	FX-702P
Type:	BASIC-programmable Pocket Computer
Picture:
Batteries:	CR 2032 x 2
Lifetime:	Introduced: 1981 Terminated: 1984
Notes:	Accompanying the calculator series that started with the CASIO FX-501P/FX-502P and the CASIO FX-601P/FX-602P. I don’t think there ever was a CASIO FX-701P, can’t find any traces of it having ever existed). This is CASIO’s first BASIC programmable Pocket Computer. The FX-702P is a very nice calculator programmable with a horrible keyboard layout which can be programmed using a variant on the BASIC language. It can also be used for direct calculations. Functions can be selected using keys, or simply typed. I got this calculator from a friend of mine who is moving to a country far far away and found this calculator whilst packing. Thanks Peter Berck!

Peripherals

There are various interfaces for this calculator (and others in this series). There are two types of cassette-interface, one which could play musical notes as well. There is also a printer, the FP-10. I own the printer FP-10 and cassette interface FA-2.
This calculator’s memory can be extended using RAM modules. CASIO however did never sell any extension modules as far as I’m aware.
