Talk:Tandy Pocket Computer

I'm the expert here
I have been a user of the PC-6 since it came out on the 80s. This Pocket PC does not have the line numbering issue talked about in the article so I have updated the statements to reflect that. &mdash; The previous unsigned comment was made by User:Whiteshepherd (contribs) on 4 October 2007 at 05:50.

Tandy PC6 is Casio FX-790P (not Casio FX795)
I update the page replacing fx795p by fx790p. There is a confusion between fx795p and fx-790p both devices looks the same except that the fx790p (and the pc6) can emulate a processor and will accept assembly language programming. I read that it was used for educational purpose in japan. The PC6 has an "Assmbl" key on the flat keyboard. The FX-795P has an "FX" key at this place. I have a pc6 and a fx-795p in hand at this moment, the housing present some differences, the fx795p casio has more polished finish.

Merge discussion wrt TRS-80 Pocket Computer
I did not put merge tags in either article, but I have an impression that Tandy Pocket Computer is about all such pocket computers of the type, and TRS-80 Pocket Computer is specifically about the PC-1 model, which was widely advertised (see this promotion featuring Isaac Asimov), and at least in the U.S. appears to command a fair amount of mindshare on its own. -Mardus (talk) 22:58, 9 January 2015 (UTC)
 * There's already a Sharp PC-1211 article for the computer in its own right, though, and it doesn't warrant a separate article for a badge-engineered version. I think we can merge any unique content into the PC-1211 article and merge the general content into Tandy Pocket Computer.
 * Going by the numbering PC-1 to PC-8, despite the use of "Radio Shack TRS-80" and "Tandy" brands on different models, it appears to be intended as a single "line". (Of course, it wasn't really a line, given that it combined two models from different manufacturers, but I doubt that had anything to do with the difference in rebranding. (e.g. the PC-4 and PC-5 were both Casios according to the article, but used TRS-80 and Tandy branding respectively). Ubcule (talk) 21:40, 5 March 2015 (UTC)
 * Addendum; have split content between the two articles as described above, and will arrange for links/redirects intended to refer specifically to the original (PC-1) model to go via the TRS-80 Pocket Computer PC-1 redirect. Ubcule (talk) 22:29, 5 March 2015 (UTC)

TRS-80 and Tandy PC-4 versions
Many decades ago I had two versions of the PC-4, and from memory there was both a TRS-80 (older) and Tandy (newer) version. They had the same size and form factor, visually differing only by the brand logo when off. The LCD fonts are slightly different between the two. The firmware were also slightly different but I don't recall details. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2602:46:3913:B400:87CE:CEE7:F514:31E3 (talk) 15:28, 15 July 2019 (UTC)
