The Casio FX-750P is one of several pocket computers which utilized removable RAM Cards for quickly swapping programs and/or data.
The Casio FX-880P paired with the FA-6 expansion is quite capable for various purposes. As an experiment, I ported the banner and maze programs and tried the globe program as well.
