Any good DOS calculators that provide a Casio-pocket-computer-like BASIC?

Or, maybe, this one (never used it though)...

Looking at the readme file for Mercury, it looks like it requires a math coprocessor. IIRC, the HP 200LX does not have a math coprocessor.

Not exactly:
Quote:If a math coprocessor is available, it will be used. A math
coprocessor is recommended for serious number crunchers.
(...)
Mercury automatically detects the math coprocessor, but
occasionally Mercury fails because the chip is defective. It can
be turned off with

set 87=N

at the DOS prompt.
