This Toshiba SLC-8300 seems to be the first scientific calculator using a LCD display. It was introduced already in the year 1977 and predates even the TI-25! The calculator chip inside was found in some OEM products like the Radio Shack EC-496, too. We assume that the SC-7100 was Toshiba's first scientific calculator.
Don't miss the RFT MR610, a
nearly perfect copy of the SLC-8300 and the later
SLC-8200.
