Why was the 76cs discontinued?

What are the differences between the 76cs and the 76csx?

Will maps etc from the 76cs work with the 76csx and vise versa.

The models with an "x" on the end can use the microSD cards for external
memory for map storage.

Yes, with some limitations. The amount of space available for map
storage in the 76Cs is limited to a fixed amount (115 MB) where as the
76CSx can use microSD cards as large as 2 GB and store a lot more mapping.

Isn't the SiRF higher sensitivity receiver new in the x models too?

Yes it was! And that is one of the major differences too, I don't
believe that I forgot about that. Thanks for pointing that out.

And if it is not obvious, I'd think that the reason the 76Cs was
discontinued was because 76CSx replaced it. It made no sense to make
both a newer smarter model and an older dumber on too.

The "x" series handhelds, the 60Cx/60CSx 76Cx/76CSX, are still the most
reliable, best performing, and versatile receivers on the market.
Garmin has moved on to the Colorado but those give up too many of the
features and capabilities of "x" series models to be a suitable
replacement in my opinion.
