Introduction

FAQ
Some (in)frequently asked questions about all of this.
Q: What are the differences in syntax between TI-BASIC and Casio BASIC?
A: Here is a table that explains the difference in syntax.
Q: I'm using an older model Casio. How do i get it to communicate with my FA-124?
A: Since models 9750G and below do not have a USB connection, you may need to use an SB-88 communication cable. Charlie Watson's casiopage has an (outdated) assortment of calculator cables for all your PC<->Calculator communication needs. Or you can make an adapter- instructions for a schematic are an internet search away.
Q: Why not just use a Texas Instruments calculator (TI-83,84,etc)?
A: Because... I dunno, shut up.
