Datamath Calculator Museum
Posted by Michael on 14 November 2004, 06:40 GMT
I was doing my customary random browsing this evening and I rediscovered one of the nerdiest calculator sites you will ever find on the Internet. Everyone should visit the Datamath Calculator Museum. The creator, Joerg Woerner, has compiled pictures, specifications, circuit board scans, and tons of information on all Texas Instruments calculators. If the calculators in the album aren't enough for you, there's a "Technology" page where you can view everything from the evolution of display technologies to calculator x-ray images.
You can spend an entire week browsing through the Datamath museum, at least. It's a fantastic site that every calculator aficionado should have bookmarked (or URL memorized).

Woahhhhh, this is beyond cool! I can't believe that anyone would make a site like this, but now that it's up, I can't believe I never found it before. I'll be spending time there, I can tell you that right now.

Check out the link. It is a picture of the actual museum. Notice what they have in a circle pattern near the main enterance. :-)
Now imagine getting you picture taken in front of them!

Hmmm... That page claims the TI-80 has a Z80 processor, the description here at ticalc.org claims the opposite. Compare:
http://www.datamath.org/ SCI/Modern/TI-80.htm
"TI-80 uses a standard Z-80 compatible CPU"
http://www.ticalc.org/ basics/calculators/ ti-80.html
"CPU 980 KHz proprietary"
Which is true?
