- fuzztester 3y agoWonder if they would still work, i.e. battery available, etc. I think I used a similar one back in the day to learn BASIC. Had fun with it, including programming graphics.
- NikkiA 3y agoEvery 80s calculator that I used used the batteries that are still commonly available, CR2032 mostly, but some CR2025 and such as well. The hard to find batteries (not impossible) tend to be the wierd voltage batteries that cameras mostly used for light metering.

- pjmlp 3y agoThis kind of Casio calculators were quite common in Engineering degrees across Portuguese universities, all the way up to the last model 880-P. For us, Casio ruled, there weren't that many TI or HP calculators around.
