Main
differences to the original TI-1895 introduced in 1984 are the smaller solar
cells and the changes styling of the calculator. The featured TI-1895 II was
manufactured in 1994 in Thailand, we know earlier products manufactured in
Taiwan.
Dismantling
the TI-1895 II reveals a typical design of a far east contract manufacturer. The
printed circuit board (PCB) itself doesn't carry any hint to the company behind
the product but we identify Compal
Electronics from the date code.
If
you are interested in really powerful metric conversion calculators you should
go for either a Canon FC-80 or the TI-1890.
