Nina Kalinina on Nostr: Caleid.01 and .02 system files do not seem to feature anything interesting ...

Caleid.01 and .02 system files do not seem to feature anything interesting bitmap-wise at all, which is a major difference from how things are done on Casio BN-20 (that one was full of bitmaps). The Caleid SDK doesn't seem to ship with Caleid built-in software, either; there's no memo or spreadsheet in the OS files.

However, Caleid.03 and Caleid.04 system files hint that there is something called "LCD BIOS" and then there is a tool that asks the user to draw a kanji! Could it be that there's hand-written recognition tooling? In <256 KB of code? 🤔

I'm also extremely curious whether Caleid had a kanji font bank. I guess I might find out soon enough.
