You
have to view two times to catch the differences between this rare CONCEPT I and
the TI-1200 calculator. The only differences between
the calculator is the colouring scheme of the faceplate.
Dismantling
the CONCEPT I reveals no surprise - the printed circuit board (PCB) of the
calculator is 100% identical with the common TI-1200.
The Concept line covered three different models: This Concept
I based on the TI-1200, the Concept II based on the
TI-1250 and the Concept III
as a
sibbling of the SR-16 II.
