Re: Why Ti 80 etc. ?
It has to do with the processor the 8x series of calculators use. the
82,83,85 & 86 all use the z80 microprocessor. Whether or not that is the
case, I'm not sure. I'm not sure if the 89 will use Zilog's z80 or
Motorola's chip. But, I would almost bet money that's why. The 73 may just
be placed lower to illustrate that it is not meant to be a better calc, and
probably is not a better calc than most of the 8x series.
