The 34S did originally calculate logxy, but we changed the arguments around. I have a vague memory that this was to be consistent with yx, but I could be wrong.

FWIW, and adding insult to injury, the SandMath has LOGYX where Y denotes the base and X the argument - blame it to the reverse part of RPN ;-)
