The TI-30Xa SE
was only a short time available before it was discontinued December
2000. This calculator is nothing else of a hybrid between the TI-30Xa Solar
and the housing of the
TI-32 Explorer Plus. Don't miss its predecessor TI-30Xa
SE released already in 1995.
The extension "School Edition" wasn't limited to calculators, in 1987 an electronic toy found its way into the classrooms. Don't miss the wonderful Touch & Discover School Edition.
Dismantling
this calculator manufactured by Nam
Tai Electronics, Inc. in January 2001 reveals a typical "far-east" design with a single-chip
calculator circuit in COB-technology.
