Corvus, the consumer division of the famous IC manufacturer MOSTEK, introduced with the Model 300E their first desktop four-function calculator. Compared with similar products like the Texas Instruments TI-3000 the Model 300E added square-root, [1/x] and [%] keys.

Corvus_300E_PCB.jpg (65000 Byte)The printed circuit board (PCB) of the Corvus 300E looks really empty with one few electronic components and a big power supply. We are curious about the unusual holes and slits in the lower part of the PCB.

Three different desktop calculators were available from Corvus:

• Model 300E: Unusual desktop calculator with square-root function
• Model 305: Added full clock function to the 300E
