Novus 950
I just bought a Novus 950. However I can't find a lit of information on the 950. Google mostly comes up with the 650. Is there any difference between the 650 and 950? If not, why the different numbers?
Cheers, Harald |

RE: Novus 950
I have a 650, but no other supporting documentation. Is the 950 an 8-digit calculator?

RE: Novus 950
Hello!
Ball&Flamm's book says very little about the 950: "4-funct., red LED, 9V rep. batt., 2.75x5", similar to 650 but fewer were made, USA, value $30-45". (The book is 22 years old so the $ figures can be a little bit off by now.) Regards Max |

In fact they use the same manual. This great website (thanks, Katie!) http://www.wass.net/manuals/ has the manual for it. Tom L Cui bono? |

RE: Novus 950
Thanks to all of you for enlightening me!
The calculator hasn't arrived yet, but from the pictures I would say it has 9 digits. Cheers, Harald |

Who the ... came up with the idea of placing a decimal point in the display, that has no meaning whatsoever?!? It basically handles integers and nothing else. You have to work out where the real decimal point is by yourself. Nice addition to the collection though. Cheers, Harald |

You have to work out where the real decimal point is by yourself. I noticed that with my 650, as well. One of my first calculations with any calculator is to calculate the easy pi approximation of 355/113. When I did that on the 650, I got .03. Changing it to 35500/113 at least gives 3.14. |
