This
TI-30 Galaxy produced in Italy got totally different colours compared to the
first production series made in Japan. Recently another TI-30 Galaxy
manufactured in Italy sporting the grey housing was discovered. View it here.
Please notice that this TI-30 Galaxy manufactured in Italy is
less accurate in most calculations than the Japanese version. This is unusual
for a TI calculator chip, normally the Toshiba IC's are the
unaccurate ones. If you are interested in the calculating accuracy of
scientific calculators don't miss the Calculator
forensics.
Compare it with this TI-30 Galaxy.
A similar colouring scheme could be found on the TI-52.
Don't miss the TI-30 Galaxy for the vision impaired people,
the Handy Tech Galixa
Speech.
