I have in my grubby little hands an Elektronika MK-85
calculator,
which externally is a spot-on clone of the Casio FX-700P BASIC
programmable calculator. Functionally, it's identical as well, with
a few enhancements (pixel-addressable graphics, a Cyrillic
character-set, etc)
Pixel-addressable characters. I wouldn't really call it
"graphics"
since there are gaps between the character cells.
Well, that's just being
pedantic :). I can plot a point at any
arbitrary x,y coordinate. It's just that there are gaps here and there
along the X axis :).
Now that is interesting. Most pocket computers in that form factor don't
have internal support for that (precisely because of the gaps) -- using
the ML exploit doesn't count ;-)
The only Tandy Pocket Computer I've seen, for example, with dot-addressable
graphics was the PC-2 because it was the only one with a gapless display.
Naturally there were quite a few Sharps and Casios, etc., that could, but
still the majority with a character based display have no such feature in
their BASIC.
