I have been using an 8000 with PC-link for several months. It does *not*
need anything fancy, XT with CGA is perfectly adequate.

The manual for the SF-8000 describes a different link program. My guess
is that CASIO wrote one that needs AT with EGA but sensibly decided 
Travelling Software is better at it. Newer manuals have delete mention
of the program except for a referal to the appropiate manual.
