The comment I posted on lobste.rs:
I’ve been curious about this computer for some years, and bid on one some time ago, but at more than 600 € that was more than I was going to pay for it.
As far as I know, the machine is internally the same as the PB-2000C which I do have, just with different key labels and a different ROM. There is an emulator for Windows here: https://pockemul.com/ https://pockemul.com/
There is even a Prolog ROM, but again for me it’s not worth the going prices: https://www.casio880.com/categoria_productos/casio/ai-1000/ https://www.casio880.com/categoria_productos/casio/ai-1000/
I wanted to build myself a modern version of this based on the Planet Computers Gemini (https://www.www3.planetcom.co.uk/gemini-pda https://www.www3.planetcom.co.uk/gemini-pda) which in theory can run Linux, but I’ve had so much trouble with it (running Linux) that I had to postpone it until I can find some time again.
Edit: the video description includes several interesting links including Pocket Emul.
- dang 5y agoThat thread was posted later than this one. You can tell from the item IDs. When we put a story in the second-chance pool (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=26998308 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=26998308), the timestamp gets relativized to the re-up time, which can be confusing, though not as confusing as not doing it.
