This
Radio Shack EC-496 is an OEM product of the APF Mark 8501 and uses the first
single-chip scientific calculator IC developed by Toshiba. The original design
with this chip was introduced already in 1977 with the Toshiba SLC-8300.
Don't miss the Canon F-62, probably a sibling of the APF Mark 8601.
