This
Toshiba BC-8012 is almost identical with the BC-815 but
misses the 3-key memory in the upper row of the keyboard.
Dismantling
the BC-8012 reveals the Toshiba T3189 single-chip calculator circuit introduced
already in 1973.
The later BC-8013 combined the same functionality into
a much smaller housing. Overall weigh was reduced from 6.5 ounces to only 4.8
ounces.
