PEEK and POKE have interesting results on a SHARP PC-1247. I got several somewhat unexpected results by poking instruction codes directly into program memory, as that was within the range of program listings. I don't have that calculator any more, I suspect I lost it in a move along with the dual-trace 1MHz oscilloscope.

As the 1247 only had 3328 bytes of addressable memory, it wasn't considered "big iron" enough for what I thought I wanted out of a programmable calculator. It certainly wasn't in the same league as the 71B or 75C/D (but was probably considerably cheaper).
