Csaba, sorry but I don't want to sell my 602P. It took some trouble to obtain one in the first place. Second, the 602P was the calculator I badly wanted but couldn't afford when I was a student. Back then I swapped another Casio calculator for a Casio FX-501P (I wish I stil had that one). The 501P is a predecessor of the 601P/602P calculators. Owning a 501P for me was the closest thing to a real 602P. Oh those were the days...

That was my first programmable calc given to me by my dad. But it has always bothered me that there is a socket on the top and I don't know what to do with it. Any idea on this one?
Thanks
Arnaud
PS: No it is not for sale

did it take the same fa-1 as the 502p? if so that's the socket.

The 602P was my first computing device, too. Wanted to have a 41C badly but that was _far_ too expensive. The connector connects to a FA-2 interface that saves your programs to a cassette player (not included). You could also 'program' music to a cassette.

As others have indicated, there was a cassette tape interface that could be connected (2 in fact: FA-1 & FA-2). There was also a printer that could be connected (FP-10), and both could be daisy-chained together with the calc. This was quite a lovely machine, almost on par with HP-41, though I always had (and still have) HP-41 envy.
This was my first programmable, and it carried me through 6 years of high school & university. A few years ago I dusted it off, and took a long walk through memory lane. There wasn't nearly as much available for it compared with HP-41 & TI-58/59, so I had built an extensive library of my own software. I was surprised I was still able to read my cassette archive.

One thing is that sizewise, I guess you could put at least 4 casios in on hp. I don't have a 41 (too young for that, and my dad is not rich enough) but I always thought it was much too big

My favourites are the 11C for pocketable everyday calculator use, 42S for programmability and complex math, 71B for larger programs and hp-il i/o, Compucorp 324G for showing off and its wonderful orange display!

You should make single decision

Well...ok if I must choose then overall winner is 42S, but I hate having to discard any of them!

Too many to count - I need an adding machine to figure it out!
Actually, right now, probably about 50-60. No set favorite, but I like 32SII, 15C, 41CX, and 42S (no real surprises).

92 items so far. All of them HP, no TIs. Sure some are duplicates and some (may be 15%) are not currently working. I still have to find some items that I find missing in my collection.

The ones I like most are the items from the very beginnig of the pocket calculators' era because of their sometimes strage details. One example is the Sharp EL-8 with its remarkable itron tubes or my almost mint and fully functional Canon Pocketronic (got it from Katie) or the superb Compucorps.
The greatest beauties I have are the HP-65 with its fine and clear key concept and the TI SR-51, a really rare beauty and hard to get in good condition.
