17bii with international language ROM

[Don Shepherd]

I'm curious, has anyone seen a 17bii with the international language ROM (mode function lets you choose a language other than English)? Years ago I found a 17b with that option, but never a 17bii.

They had been very common in Germany. I have a AA version from Singapore, a BA version from Singapore, a BA from Malaysia and a BA from Indonesia. It was more difficult in Germany to get an English version only.

I bought most of them around 2004-2006 most with Gernam manual for 30EUR and less.

Same situation with the 17B. I have two International from Singapore with ROM version BB, no English one.

Thanks Christoph, that's good to know.
