With hinged hardshell case, user's manual, programmer's manual, mathematics module and statistics module. I'm uncertain whether PROCALC means "programmable calculator" or "professional calculator". The styling seems to suggest that this one wasn't made for students, but rather as a low-cost portable computer. (This was still a time where portable computers were a luxury for the rich.) Available accessories include a printer and a cassette tape interface. Primary storage is 8K, with constant-memory modules available for backups and library development. While it may have been intended to compete with the HP-75C, the functionality more parallels the HP-41C series. Direct system calls are possible, although the documentation on these is scant.
One small card-connector slot held a module. No module was included in the basic package, so a dummy module was included to protect the connector (and probably to remind you of what you are missing). The "RAM/ROM" module pictured is the dummy.
Compare to the Texas Instruments TI-74 BASICALC.
