Description


The last one, derived from the PC-G850. Besides CASL, BASIC and C, the 850V can also be programmed using Z80 assembler.
When compiling C programs byte-code is generated, not machine-code. The byte-code is interpreted at run-time.
The BASIC dialect has a BEEP keyword, but the calculator lacs a piezo buzzer. The print-board does still have the connection points to solder a piezo buzzer in.
Notable is the existence of a PICMicro Assembler inside the 256kB ROM. This allows the 850v to control PIC microcontrollers with the help of some additional hardware.

Thanks to the contribution of Jamel, one of the pocket computer enthusiasts at MySilicium (the most active pocket computer forum) here’s an overview of function prototypes for programming the PC-G850V in C language.
