You are familiar with this MR411 produced by the former GDR based company RFT ? You are right, this is a perfect copy of the early Texas Instruments Datachron aka TI-1790 or the Toshiba LC-833WA. Read more about their calculator exports here.
Compare the perfection of the copy of the internals with the attached pictures. You'll find the MR411 always on the left side of the pictures. | |
The MR411 uses the original Toshiba T3566 calculator chip found in the TI-1790 design | |
Later even this chip was a target of the eastern "copy cats" and the MR413 appeared. |
