This
Toshiba SLC-8261 replaced the SLC-8260 introduced few
month earlier. It was sold as OEM products, we know the MBO ALPHA
502 and the Radio Shack EC-4007.
The
internal design of the SLC-8261 doesn't look like the usual Toshiba design. We
are missing details like the battery holder found in the LC-834WA.
Nevertheless there are other important details inside the SLC-8261. The printed
circuit board was manufactured by Sansyu,
a well know company since we dismantled some TI-1750
calculators.
The
next surprise could be found on the calculator chip found inside the SLC-8261,
it is the same T3763 found inside the first version of the
TI-25.
Don't miss the Canon F-42 and F-55S using a similar calculator chip.
The SLC-8261 was later replaced with the SLC-8262.
The SLC-8310 added some statistical functions.
