I think you have my question backwards, the question is what are the

Thanks for the correction, but why was it in such
a larger package?
(4040 was a 28 or 40-pin package wasn't it?).
I think I read that lintel at that time could not test a larger
package at time.Since the original market was a 4 function calculator
small packages made sense.
