Model: -97S, differences from -97A General: Name: I/O Calculator Code-Name: Ricochet Family: Topcat Firsts: serial output, last Topcat Introduction: Date: 1977-12-1 Price: $1375 Discontinuation: Date: ? Price: ? Production-Run: ? Physical: I/O-Ports: BCD serial input/ 4-bit output, compatible with TTL, DTL, CMOS, NMOS, and high-threshold logic families Temperature-Range: Operating: 10 to 40 deg C Charging: 10 to 40 deg C Storage: -40 to 50 deg C Notes:: This model was designed at HP Fort Collins, Colorado and not Corvallis. The code name referred to bouncing data in and out. Claimed 3-6 hours of use from a full charge. Recharge times: OFF 6 hours, ON 17 hours. (The notes do not attempt to supply all line definitions and signal timing information.) Binary input values equate to instruactions as: 0000 0 0001 1 0010 2 0011 3 0100 4 0101 5 0110 6 0111 7 1000 8 1001 9 1010 . 1011 EEX 1100 ENTER^ 1101 A (as in continue at label A) 1110 CHS 1111 no-op Note that the assignment of 1111 to no-op means that unused line blocks can be left unconnected. Flags 0-3 are output. All flags are controlled by their respective SF/CF instructions. In addition, flag 3 is set by the machine if data entry is detected from the keyboard, so a clear flag 3 after an A instruction means that input was from the serial interface. Note that this flag setting does not alter the value output on the F3- line. Connector is a 50-pin telephone-type. Pinout is: GND 1 26 LE- F3- 2 27 LOAD- F2- 3 28 INHIBIT F1- 4 29 LOAD F0 5 30 T/C- I1 6 31 J1 I2 7 32 J2 I4 8 33 J4 I8 9 34 J8 G1 10 35 H1 G2 11 36 H2 G4 12 37 H4 G8 13 38 H8 E1 14 39 F1 E2 15 40 F2 E4 16 41 F4 E8 17 42 F8 C1 18 43 D1 C2 19 44 D2 C4 20 45 D4 C8 21 46 D8 A1 22 47 B1 A2 23 48 B2 A4 24 49 B4 A8 25 50 B8
