LC-840WA_PCB.jpg (74425 Byte)This Toshiba LC-840WA added a full calendar function to the LC-859WA introduced in the same year. The technology inside this wonderful tool is quite interesting because it sports a combination of two Toshiba T3923S, T3924S chips. We discovered a similar constellation with the LC-836MN - the first portable electronic Databank.
