Miscellaneous

• Casio FX-502P circuit diagram
• Casio FX-603P circuit diagram
• Casio SFR-20 circuit diagram
  Hint: if the organizer doesn't turn on, the most likely cause is a corroded trace or via underneath a leaking electrolytic capacitor C16 (usually the connection between the slide switch SW1 and the microprocessor pin 36).
• Circuit diagram of the Casio FA-6 interface - the base unit and the head unit
• Brother M-1109 (Centronics GLP II) impact dot matrix printer owner's manual - German language version
