DATAMATH CALCULATOR MUSEUM |
Solid State Software Modules™
The TI-58
and TI-59 calculators introduced a novelity, the
Solid State Software Modules™ with up to 5000 program steps. On the backside
of the TI-58/59 you'll note a small lid with a place for a module. The Master
Library with 25 different programs was included, a lot of other modules were
available.
Due to the innovative module concept this calculator was used a lot for application specific purposes. To give an idea of this products view the six insurance fee calculators from Agrippina, Allianz , Lloyd, LVM, Nordstern, and Victoria or the USMC Harrier Flight computer. Don't forget the Bossard, CAL-Q-TAX, EDF, incotax, tax planner and Chrysler calculators.
The Pool Water Analysis module uses a standard TI-58C with a keyboard mask instead the customized keyboard arrangements of the above mentioned products.
