This mini forum is intended to provide a simple means of discussion about the Casio  FP 1000 / FP 1100 computer. If you want to share your own experience or memories, or add relevant information about this system: post a message!

I only had the dual 5 1/4 floppy drive unit. I connected it to my Sinclair ZX Spectrum with some floppy interface bought in the UK. The drives made a funny noise when starting up. Also had a slightly newer Casio keyboard model and hacked the PCB traces to connect it to the Spectrum mainboard. I wish I could play with these again.

I still have a FP1100. I saved it in 96 when my school was throwing them out. Sometimes i play with it when i want some retro feeling :)

Now that Youtube exists, I found it funny to upload a couple of Casio demos and games running on my FP-1100. You can find them on my Youtube channel : http://www.youtube.com/user/monolith7777777/videos

This was the first PC I laid my hands on !

With a FP-1000, I learned BASIC and Pascal and got my first programmer diploma at the age of 12.

this brings back lots of good memories! it was the first PC I ever used and I was 7 years old :) made me love IT. I remember running lotus 123, paratrooper and microsoft flight sim!

One thing that is not noted here is the Casio FP 1100 computer could also support Dual CPU. I don''t know if it was standard for that model. It was at least an option.

I owned a FP-1100 with several extensions from 1986 until 2006. Then it was recycled :-(
But the compolete Systemsoftware and documentation is still available. Feel free to mail me for information about.

I still have an FP-1100 with dual floppy drive in perfect working condition. I was wondering if there was any known way to read back FP-1020FD floppies on a PC ? I have lots of software to share. Also, it would be nice to gather homemade software made by others. Since there is almost no information on this computer (also on FP-200 and 6000 by the way), I am projecting to create a website dedicated to these computers. I have all the user AND service manuals - I only must find the time to scan them :)

I sold several FP1000/1100 Casio´s in Angola. I developed for them a number of business aplications made in COBOL running under CP/M.. These machines were the more reliable I ever sold, owned and used in my life. Many years of intense work in harsh enviroments and NONE of the around 50 machienes I sold ever broke down...AND I can tell you that they REALLY worked hard.... AT the time the configuration I used used to have two 8 inch high density FDD....GREAT MACHINE .....
