The SS-3008 STATISTICS Solid State Software Cartridge (SSSC) was developed by Texas Instruments for its CC-40 Compact Computer System and contains 14 easy-to-use programs chosen to serve a broad range of statistical applications:

• Descriptive Statistics - Histogram
• Descriptive Statistics - Means and Moments
• Parametric Tests - T-Test Paired Observations
• Parametric Tests - T-Test Unpaired Observations
• Non-Parametric Tests - Contingency Table Analysis
• Non-Parametric Tests - Mann-Whitney Rank-Sum Test
• Analysis of Variance - One-Way ANOVA
• Analysis of Variance - Two-Way ANOVA
• Theoretical Distributions - Binominal Distribution
• Theoretical Distributions - Chi-Square Distribution
• Theoretical Distributions - F-Distribution
• Theoretical Distributions - Normal Distribution
• Theoretical Distributions - Poisson Distribution
• Theoretical Distributions - Student's T-Distribution

Dismantling a Solid State Software Cartridge manufactured 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.

Don't miss an early prototype of the STATISTICS SSSC with a different form factor and electrical connector fitting only the never released prototypes of the Compact Computer 40.
