BA-45MBM_PCB.jpg (301269 Byte)BA-45MBM_Back.jpg (152231 Byte)The BA-45 Micro Business Manager was one of the nice applications of the miniaturized printing technologies introduced with the TI-5000. The calculating capabilities of this 4-bit microcontroller (uPD7500 series) are less than a BA-II. A similar product was launched with the TI-45 Micro Scientific Printer.

If you need more powerful financial functions and like a alphanumeric prompting you should go for the Canon Financial Printer.

The only serious desktop printing calculator developed for financial applications was introduced already in 1983 with the rare TI-5310.
