The
innovative TI-58 was the perfect base for a lot of
customized calculators. This one was used from 1979 by Chrysler-Simca in France
to calculate loans for automobile financing.
The idea behind these products
was the novelty of the
Solid State Software Modules™ with up to 5000 program steps. This software was
written by the SW-engineers of SOVAC (Societé pour la
Vente à Crédit d'Automobiles), and programmed into the
modules by Texas Instruments. Don't miss the TI-58
from SOVAC.
Compare it with a similar product by the insurance companies Agrippina, Allianz,
LVM, Lloyd, Nordstern
and Victoria
or the CAL-Q-TAX
calculator.
Another approach to customize a calculator could be found in the Goulds Pumpulator.
