Here is a 2019 discussion of some aspects of the Sharp EL-W506T (and other similar Sharp, Casio and TI models). The second page includes links to a number of TI and Sharp calculator emulators.

I read the thread. The model identifications are confusing. I was looking for an EL-W506T in the US, but checking around there does not appear to be EL-W506T on the US market, only the standard EL-506TS without WriteView.

However, the EL-W516XBSL appears to be the same as the EL-W506T when comparing them side-by-side, or are they not the same?

Sharp EL-W506T: https://global.sharp/products/calculator...index.html#

Sharp EL-W516XBSL: (e.g. Amazon US and other stores)

Sharp EL-W516TBSL: (not on Amazon US, but eBay etc.)

I don't see any difference between the EL-W506T (from the Sharp site) and the new EL-W516XBSL or the EL-W516TBSL models sold in the US. Is there a difference between these three?

EDIT: apparently Amazon (and perhaps other sites) picture the wrong EL-W516 model. The EL-W516XBSL has no WriteView, yet the picture with the title EL-W516XBLSL shows an EL-W516T with WriteView. This is madness.
