Casio PB-2000C and ROM Cards

This is by far the best pocket computer ever manufactured. The only setback is, it is slow. However, this doesn't mask the good points of this device in any possible way.

PB-2000C comes with C interpreter known as K&R C. K and R stands for the first letters of the names who in fact invented the C programming language. This version of C may lack some of the exciting points of ANSI C but it is tremendously more exciting to use the very first C on such a pocket computer.

Besides C there are some other programming languages available for PB-2000C and one of them is BASIC. The BASIC version on PB-2000C is different then the one which available on its' close relative PB-1000. The main difference is that there are no commands like TIME$ or DATE$. Besides some commands like LINE is different as DRAW. BASIC ROM is a little faster than C.

There is another ROM which is CASL for which I will add information later.

The most exciting ROM among all is PASCAL ROM. This is developed by Hans Larsson which by all means humiliated Casio engineers. This ROM gives you wings over PB-2000C and you have the power to code things which is not possible with any other ROM module. Better memory management, faster programs and many additional functions make this ROM shine brighter.
