Notes: A series of scientific calculators for the French and Belgium markets, mainly, as far as I can determine, meant for the French speaking scholars. The fx-92B variants seem to be targeted towards the Belgium market. There is quite a series there is a collection of calculator. The later models (I tried to order the list chronologically, please correct me if I'm wrong) are often of a particular green colour.

This version is a very usable en well thought out calculator, quite similar in its workings to the CASIO fx-82TL and its follow-ups. Please take a look at the CASIO fx-82TL’s page for a description.

There are some enhancements and differences however. I’ll enlighten a few of them.
  • The ÷R key does integer divisions and shows the reminder as well as the result of the division.

  • The often-used variables X and Y have moved to separate keys for easy access.

  • The exponent key is usually called EXP on CASIO calculators. On this one however it is called ×10x. Exponents are shown on the display in the same manner as well.

  • The CALC key makes this calculator semi-programmable. It works as follows. Enter one or more of calculations using variables separated by colons. When the CALC key is pressed the calculator will query for the values of the variables and after pressing EXE will show the results of the entered calculations. Press the EXE key again to change the values of the variables.

  • The colour... Well judge for yourself.
