The
TI-1100 II received an enhanced display compared to the original TI-1100
II introduced one year earlier.
Dismantling this featured TI-1100 II from the 2nd design manufactured in
November 1986 by Inventec
Corporation in Taiwan reveals a clean design centered around a Toshiba
T6985S single-chip calculator soldered on a double-sided printed circuit board
(PCB) and powered by a LR43 battery.
A more stylish variant of this housing could be found with the
TI-1103 and TI-1104
calculators. Even the TI-1105 and the later TI-108 make use of the molds.
Some years later, around 1987, the production of the
TI-1100 II was shifted to Malaysia. Don't miss the 3rd design of the TI-1100
II. Recently we spotted a TI-1100 II
manufactured late in Taiwan late in 1989.
