The BOSS is sold by various names (and numbers).  Mine is a 7500, there
is an 8500, 9000, etc.  They differ slightly in size and features, as
well as memory.  Some have 32K, some have 64K.  The 9000 takes ROM cards
with special features like spelling checkers.

Casio's are sold under the the Tandy name by Radio Shack.

The Casio has a much larger screen than the Wizard.
