Up to now, you could take 2 different Casio calculator models (any model except the ClassPad) and transfer Basic programmes between them.
(of course, if some Basic instructions weren't supported on the receiving model, the Basic program would not run correctly)
On recent fx-9860G models you could also transfer add-ins (applications).
How about the Prizm?
Does it still have the I/O plug?
Can the Prizm be used with a different model to receive/send Basic programs?
Can the Prizm be used with a different model to receive/send add-ins?
Thanks.

1) Yes
2) Yes. Commands will get "fixed" for whatever calculator is recieving them. See p. 444-446 in this PDF (http://edu.casio.com/products/cg_series/data/fxcg10_20_E.pdf) for complete information. Sending information from older calcs to the Prizm is painless though I suspect that someone would need to have a Prizm and an older calc to make some Prizm Basic programs backwards compatible.
3) I don't know.
-
Old add-ins are not compatible with the Prizm at all. Only add-ins that have been created and compiled for the Prizm will work.
-
An addin could be ported to the Prizm as many syscalls do the same thing except for different hardware and a different address. It might be easier to just port old addins as long as the source is visible than emulating older Casio calcs.
-
Yes, but the add-in files that were made for older calcs can't just be sent to the Prizm, which was what critor was asking.

When sending a BASIC Prizm program to a 9860G directly, color commands simply gets renamed to a symbol and the program will run fine without them. I don't know about other commands, though. I also wonder if some color commands remain intact when sending the program to a FX-9850G? (it had colors, but only two of the three colors were the same as Prizm colors)
