Re: 43S News

Regarding that other character that must not be named here, please look up ISO 80000-2: The symbol ÷ should not be used. As far as I am informed, the mentioned ISO standard does not know anything about calculator keyboards or does not focus on them. It is about printed products. After 30 years of a...

Re: Why not a DM17BII?

+-/* keys are on the wrong side of the keyboard. enter key missing (disguised as input key) a = key on a HP calc, really ? EM, yes, really. The Picture shows a HP 17bII+, which has arithmetic and RPN input. There are other differences, in particular the SOLVE function, which is more (!) sophisticat...

the worst case scenario for the reported clock issues should be around 6 minutes after 6 months.
Should... I could throw in the ring 38 minutes loss after 14 months.

Re: Firmware-Update DM 11, DM 15

G., thanks for the input. "negative" just means "nothing (positive) happened". This morning, I tried the procedure again (and again). Now, I can summarise as follows (both DM 11 L and DM 15 L): The first time I'am pressing "RESET" the Calculator says "serial consol...

Hi, to be honest, the firmware-update process seems to be a mere disater (at least for half of my devices). DM 42 update (3.13) executed almost smoothly. DM 41 L update performed so so, the third attempt was succesful. DM 11 L and DM 15 L (from V. 2.4 to V. 2.8): negative. DM 11 L says, after pressi...

Re: Display as printer?

If this was just a HP42S with an extra row of keys and a large screen I doubt any of us would be here and they wouldn't be selling out quickly. I wouldn't pay $200 dollars for that, would you?
