Re: HP calculators might be back...

The first company to produce an updated hp48/50 will get my money. Upgraded screen, onboard storage (64mb), usb-c and current ARM speeds. As for the ROM, some evolutions but I don’t ask too much, it was already very good. And the overall look of the hp48 (which has just the right keyboard layout and...

Re: HP calculators might be back...

For sure, we know nothing about the future products (if any ) and what they will do with the current offering. Their page lists the usual hp web store items. (Prime, financial & Casio-like algebraic). The big news for me is the end of the status quo for the hp calculator division. Since years th...

HP calculators might be back...

Hi all. I just read in an "alternative forum" about the transfer of HP calculators business to two licensed companies (Moravia Consulting & Royal Consumer Info Products), paving the way for new HP RPN models. This revival is off course exciting, but.... If the IP transfer is complete (...

Re: May 2021 Speculations

Count me in, if there is a ‘load ROM from file…’ entry under the setup key. I might then want to select the HP48-R.ROM file…. :-) ‘ I have a dream.’

Re: Post a high resoluition photo of a DM42?

I wonder if anyone as a model with a correct "EXIT" marking.
Mine is also deformed as well.

Re: Stack display behaviour

Ok, just reproduced. Once. After calc has been idle for a long time. Both X & Y were simultaneously changed to the result after pressing * Y: 18 ----> Y: 324 X: 18 ----> X: 324 Also reproduced the "Z" problem which is now 100% explained to be caused by the T level being duplicated => O...

Re: Stack display behaviour

Hi,
I don't think so, because when the Z level got updated there was no extra stack lift.
Looked like magicaly all "18", wherever they were (and there was a 18 in Z), got transformed into "324".

Hoping to find a way to reproduce this in the days to come, but unlikely.

Re: Stack display behaviour

Can't reproduce anymore, but already happened in the past.
Now things are back to normal, with a stack drop and the evaluated result in X.

A bit less disturbed, but not 100% confident in the stack display code. :(

Stack display behaviour

Hi all, I'd like to discuss a disturbing stack display problem that I sometimes encounter. Suppose you want to square 18 : 18 [ENTER] Y: 18 X: 18 [*] Will produce in Free42 : Y: 0 X: 324 It will be the case also on DM42, but not always: I sometimes end up with : Y:324 X:324 And I can't find an expla...
