that's called the 'Programmer'. The nearest would be the HP16C (codename
'Pr' IIRC) which is the 'Voyager' series machine designed for low-level
programemrs with boolean operations, shifts/rotates, etc. One currently
resides on my eelctronics bench.
IIRC, the 16C was called the "Computer Scientist"; the TI hex-capable
calculator (based loosely on the TI-30) was called the "Programmer".
LED display initially, replaced by the LCD Programmer and the
Programmer II. None of the TI models holds a candle to the HP16C
(mine is still chugging along...
