QUASAR HHC HANDHELD COMPUTER
You are offerding ona vintage computer. This is the Quasar version of the Panasonic RL-H1400 HHC.
The HHC has the SNAP interpreter built-in (SNAP is an early, interpreted text-processing language), and the Microsoft BASIC ROM can be installed if desired.
Many of these systems were sold with a built-in custom insurance calculation application for insurance salesmen and claim adjusters to use on the road. These applications, similar to the BASIC ROM, were burned into from one to three ROMs which were installed into a compartment on the back of the system.
