Tokyo
Shibaura Electric Co., Ltd., better known as Toshiba - the official name since
1978 - introduced early in their history the Homeland brand.
This Homeland 8115 is a typical Japanese calculator using a
green VF-Display (Vacuum Fluorescent Display), a solid keyboard and a somewhat boring
styling.
Dismantling
the featured Homeland 8115 reveals a clean design centered around a Mitsubishi
M58626-002
single-chip calculator circuit.
