Ok, I got home and tracked it down. It's a Casio model CM-100 that I 
got for free, in 1986, as a promo for buying a graphing calculator. 
I stuck it into the scanner and posted the resulting  pic in the photo
section of the Yahoo web site.

The COMP button puts the unit into normal floating point mode and any
of the BIN - HEX buttons switches it to integer operation. And yes,
the A-F keys expand the numeric pad to 16 digits in integer mode. I'm
sure this model has been out of production for a long time but, if you
can find a working one, it's worth it. Not a high power unit but, like
I said, the batteries still work!
