With
the Galaxy 67 Texas Instruments introduced a calculator based on a really powerful
microcontroller in the housing of the former Galaxy 9x
and Galaxy 40x. The user can configure the overall memory of 1536 bytes
respective to his requirements. Compared with other "Formula
programmable" calculators this one uses both the formula methode and
traditional programming.
If you are interested in the calculating accuracy of scientific calculators don't miss the Calculator forensics.
A similar calculator using a more traditional housing but less memory was introduced with TI-68.
This innovative calculator uses a TMP0620F single-chip
microcontroller sporting 1536 bytes of RAM, scanning a keyboard and driving a
dot-matrix display. Any ideas about other products with this hardware ? Don't
miss the PS-2400 !
