Despite the word "mini" in the name it uses regular casettes. Of course it wasn't designed for computing, it's an audio recorder, mono, a model easily available in the 80s
There is a label in the back "Sanyo model no. M1120"
I have a Sharp EL-5500III which I bought about a week ago; it's slightly larger than the Casio shown here and was available with a cassette interface w/built-in thermal printer. It is also programmable in BASIC and has 20 memories. This machine seems to be a bit more capable.
Casio made some amazing stuff over the years. Everything from calculators and computers to musical instruments. Does the tape deck have a speaker? The noise of the data being written to the tape scared me.
Well, in '85 there barely was such a thing as an (IBM compatible) PC for ordinary people. A PC was as is says - A Personal Computer. Technically speaking this Casio is a computer although very simple. The most common personal computer at that time was a C64 (which I also have a small collection of and with a new SD card reader; can load games in a split second ;)).

I'm 16 and my mother gave me this, it still works fine. I also programmed the horse race game from the manual :)

My father had this Casio when I was two and I learned to talk hearing my father reading what i wrote (casual words) on the calculator!

This thing is great!
I also have an FX 730P and I really love programming with it. Now i´m searching for an cassette-interface to store all my programs.
I think the Fx 730P is not a "real" computer
but I use it in the school and when i´m bored, i´m programming !
