The
TI-82 was released after the TI-81 and TI-85
and filles the gap between them neatly. The TI-82 introduced a serial interface
to connect either two calculators or one calculator and a personal computer.
Later Graphing calculators like the TI-83 got a smoother housing, view the
restyled TI-82, too.
The hardware of the
TI-82 is similar to a lot of other
products:
A 8-bit microprocessor of the Z80 family, a huge ROM of 128k Byte
capacity, a RAM of 32k Byte size and a driver for the LCD display.
A special "teacher version" called TI-82
VSC combines the standard TI-82 features with a port to connect to a
ViewScreen panel via a cable. Placing the panel on the overhead projector
enlarges the image of the handheld screen so that each student can follow along.
The TI-82 got in 1995 a slightly modified appearance, please focus on the color of the TI-82 designator.
The TI-82 was mentioned in TI's press
release dated August 15, 2002 to celebrate the 35th anniversary of its
invention of the electronic calculator.
