Monroe 2880 Applications Calculator (1136 words)
The 2880, though it can serve as a 'plain old' office calculator, can be customized with a plug-in ROM module that allows the calculator to assume varying 'application personalities'.
The Monroe 2880 was built in late 1979 to early 1980, based on date codes on the IC's within the machine.
The 2880 runs off 110V AC power only, and uses a conventional transformer-based, IC and transistor-regulated linear power supply to generate the working voltages needed to operate the machine.
