-    text: I only had the dual 5 1/4 floppy drive unit. I connected it to my Sinclair ZX Spectrum with some floppy interface bought in the UK. The drives made a funny noise when starting up. Also had a slightly newer Casio keyboard model and hacked the PCB traces to connect it to the Spectrum mainboard. I wish I could play with these again.

-    text: One thing that is not noted here is the Casio FP 1100 computer could also support Dual CPU. I don''t know if it was standard for that model. It was at least an option.

-    text: I still have an FP-1100 with dual floppy drive in perfect working condition. I was wondering if there was any known way to read back FP-1020FD floppies on a PC ? I have lots of software to share. Also, it would be nice to gather homemade software made by others. Since there is almost no information on this computer (also on FP-200 and 6000 by the way), I am projecting to create a website dedicated to these computers. I have all the user AND service manuals - I only must find the time to scan them :)

-    text: I sold several FP1000/1100 Casio´s in Angola. I developed for them a number of business aplications made in COBOL running under CP/M.. These machines were the more reliable I ever sold, owned and used in my life. Many years of intense work in harsh enviroments and NONE of the around 50 machienes I sold ever broke down...AND I can tell you that they REALLY worked hard.... AT the time the configuration I used used to have two 8 inch high density FDD....GREAT MACHINE .....
