| "May
of 1976 ( a year that was to be just as big if not bigger than 1975 for Casio) saw the
introduction of new products. The first being the Casio QW-06, a digital watch, the author
bought one of the first ones and remembers it as being dreadfully expensive for what it
was. Another was the 'Biolator" Cycle Calculator, AKA H-801, a novelty item which
caused a fever of interest through "Tonight Shows" and the media. Full page
spreads with attractive models on popular magazines and so forth. The machine was a
"Biolator". It was supposed to work out one's state of health by calculating
three cycles built in to the human clock from the day we are born. The machine was an
overnight success and sold like hot cakes. Even today we have calls requesting to know
where one can be purchased and production stopped over thirty years ago." Ray Mackay, Old Casio Calculators |
