Interesting thread about simulating Sir Clive Sinclair's low cost scientific calculator from 1974.

The buttons are mostly blue, with a black background. The calculator has a stylized Sinclair Scientific logo on it, as well as printed constants 1 rad, ln 10, e, and pi. Photo by Aq42 from Wikipedia.

[blog] "Reverse engineering a forgotten 1970s Intel dual core beast: 8271, a new ISA": scarybeastsecurity.blogspot.โฆ A small team decapped / reversed an 8271; beautiful but shockingly large. Dual core! Larger than the 6502 CPU (right). Fascinating Intel history and a new Intel ISA!
