The
production of the original BA-II was shifted in 1985
from Taiwan to Italy and USA but the overall appearance kept very similiar.
Main difference between
the two known BA-II models is the internal construction using a flexible printed
circuit board (PCB) instead the rigid type. As a result we notice a slightly
shifted position of the display frame and a small reduction in weight of the
calculator.
A similar calculator pair could be found with the TI-30 III
(Taiwan) and TI-35 II (USA and Italy).
