If it helps, I've got this, which was F84/SP505, is now F628A/VI402
and a little more sophisticated (thanks to various tips picked up over
the years from PIClist)

http://home.clear.net.nz/pages/joecolquitt/0sp505.html

The VI402 has 3 decimal points, colon and ^ annunciator

ICM7211ILP is ~ NZ$7 from Arrow, VI402 is ~ NZ$2.50
from Soanar Plus

And I guess you'll also have seen this in the past few days
