FP 1000 /
FP 1100

The Casio FP-1000 and FP-1100 were essentially
the same machine, except that the 1100 had colour capabilities, 48
KB VRAM and enhanced graphic mode (640 x 400).

The FP-1100
came with either a monochrome (green) monitor which would display
colour as shades, or the colour monitor. The cable feeding the video
to the monitor was a simple 2 core unsheilded RCA cable. The mono
minitor had a switch at the back so that one could swap foreground
and background (green on black or black on green)

Both the
FP-1000 and FP-1100 had a built in OS called C82 BASIC. To run CP/M,
you had to insert your systems diskette and reboot the computer, or
if the program diskette had it's own boot strap, you could issue a
"mount [1,2]" command where the number [1/2] indicated the diskette
drive you wanted to use.

You could run multiple console
sessions on the FP-1000/1100 toggling between them with the blue
function keyboard keys that can be seen on the image. Some programs
(eg SuperCalc) ussurped these keys and you were stuck in the console
session until you stopped the program.

Thanks to Zieg Nielsen for the
info.
