The TI-76.fr is more along the lines of the TI-73 in the US -- a simpler graphing calculator aimed at middle school students.

Not bad. Only problem is that instead of having an ALPHA button for quickly typing letters (albeit on a strangely organized keypad), you have to press TEXTE to get to a letter selection menu and scroll around with the arrow keys until you get to the letter you want (just like on the TI-73). Incredibly time-consuming.

I don't actually have a TI-76.fr, but this is what I can tell from DATAMATH.

It doesn't have flash APPS or an archive?

The printed circuit board are the same as ti83+.
This is possible to put an ti83+ os on ti73 and it's possible to put ti73 os on ti83+ :)
But I haven't ti73 (because it only exist in US), I don't know really this calc.

Like the TI-82 Stats.fr, the TI-76.fr is using a TI-73/83+-like PCB.

But the highest address pin of the 512Kb Flash-ROM is grounded: so you've only got 256Kb instead of 512Kb.

In theory, you could flash a TI-83+ OS.

But it's running a TI-83-like OS, and the Boot Code shortcut doesn't work, even after connecting the highest address pin.
Meaning that there is no software way (in theory) to write to the Flash-ROM.

Actually the 76 was a 83/82 Stats with removed functionalities and the same text menu as the 73. Too bad we cannot write to the Flash ROM.
