Examples of IME calculators
IME 84rc.
Dating from 1964, the 84rc was one of the first all-transistor calculators, and uses a magnetic core memory.
It is possible to connect remote keyboard and display units so that others could make use of the calculator too, but
only one person at a time!
This is a featured calculator.
