Canola L800
Description

The Canon Canola L800 was introduced short time after the first desktop calculator manufactured by Texas Instruments - the TI-3000. The L800 was the first Canon desktop calculator using the TMS0105 single-chip calculator chip. Within roughly 12 month the brain of a desktop calculator was reduced from four (L100) chips to two (L100A) chips and to a single chip (L100S). This L800 fits the whole electronics of the L100S in the smaller housing of the L100A.

Year First Manufactured
