Tandy PC-5
The Tandy
PC-5 Pocket Scientific Computer is a very useful and rugged machine. It
has a palmtop design but is much smaller than the HP200LX. Another advatage
of this unit is the hard metal case, this machine was built to last. It
features scientific computing fuctions on the main keypad then has a QWERTY
keypad on the upper half of the unit (under the screen). The Tandy PC-5
is also programable in either basic or assembly language as well as a memo
function to store notes and misc information. If features an I/O port on
the side and a single line alphanumeric LCD screen. The keys are soft rubber
and are very comfortable to use, they are quiet and reliable when pressed.
This device has replaced my expensive graphing calculator as a result of
it's easiness to use/learn, it's comfortable feel, and it's BASIC programmability.
Other features of the PC-5 include a hex calculator, buzzer, and its leight
weight. Everybody needs one of these little wonders. I picked mine up for
$5 but didn't have any documentation. If you have documentation forsale
then please notify me.
