I don't know if you'd consider it a computer, but the HP 41 was used on
a number of shuttle flights. A friend of mine from HP went to Houston to
teach the astronauts how to use the 41. I've heard that the HP 65 or 67
was used on some space flights even earlier, but I have not confirmed that.

I used mine NASA-style sometimes: Velcro'd to
any flat surface. Slight
change of subject: Does anyone know exactly what the first laptop to
accompany shuttle astronauts into space was? I hear it's the GRiD Compass
1100. I had that very model up until last week when I traded for a GRiD
I've been told that the m100 is one of two commercially produced computers
certified for use on the shuttle. Never heard what the other was, but
perhaps it's the grid?
