The
SS-3009 MATHEMATICS Solid State Software Cartridge (SSSC) was developed by Texas
Instruments for its CC-40 Compact Computer System and
contains 15 easy-to-use programs chosen to serve a broad range of mathematical
applications:
|
• Complex Functions • Complex Systems • Convolutions • Cubic Splines • Differential Equations • Gamma Function • Gauss Quadrature • Hyperbolic Functions • Matrices • Polynomial Multiplication • Prime Factors • Relative Minimum • Root-Finder - Bisection • Root-Finder - Newton • Tridiagonal Matrix |
Dismantling this Solid State Software Cartridge manufactured in
June 1983 by Texas Instruments in their Abilene, Texas facility, reveals a small printed circuit board (PCB) with
a HN61256P ROM (Read-Only Memory) manufactured by Hitachi, Japan.
The HN61256P
uses a CMOS process resulting in a very low power consumption of 7.5 mW and
features a capacity of 32k Bytes with an access time of 3.5 us.
