Found this really cool EduCalc Model 25 GD at a local recycler today. It's an HP-25 scientific/programmable calculator with a large Panaplex plasma panel grafted onto it. (There's also a handsome wood case involved.) The intended use was in the classroom; a teacher could use this calculator on a desk in front of a class of students, and the display would be visible to the class.

This Lab-8/e system belonged to a UW chemistry prof, he developed his own variant of Focal ("UW Focal") on this machine and used it to control various laboratory instruments. I'm hoping to get it all running this summer. Just working on getting it all installed in the rack right now, to free up some floor space in the garage!

The Lab-8/e's VC8E point-plotting controller is mostly functional, as is the Tektronix 603 scope it's connected to. There's a stuck bit in the Y DAC and something very odd is going on with the X DAC. The scope stores a bit when it's not …
Found a little bit of the history here: https://www.hpcalc.org/hp48/docs/columns/edu-calc.html. Apparently this is the device that kicked off the company (they went out of business in 1997.) I actually ordered a couple of things from EduC…

Got this here Lab-8/e all cleaned up, and the power supply's been gone through. After a few problems with the third-party (Plessey PM-80) core memory boards that came with the system I have it running Chekmo-II. I suppose I should also r…
