It's
difficult to place this programmable calculator in the right category.
The shape
is very similar to the later TI-30 Galaxy, but
not only the components inside even the whole calculator was manufactured by
Toshiba, Japan. Compared with the later members of the Galaxy family the overall dimesions are
slightly smaller and the keyboard totally different. The display technology with
the alphanumeric 14-segment LCD used is unique among TI calculators.
A nice feature of the calculator is the connectivity to the
serial printer PC-200 known from the financial calculator BA-55.
Don't miss the talking Calcu-Talk based on the TI-66.
