HP42S COMPLEX compatibility I am considering to add a config flag to optionally force COMPLEX compatibility for 42S. Is this complex entry a problem for anyone else? The issue is that on 43S, you either do 1 CC 2 EXIT (or 1 CC 2 ENTER) or 1 ENTER 2 EXIT CC On 42S you do: 1 ENTER 2 CC or 1 ENTER 2 E...

For me it is not totally clear from the instruction, whether I have to set the clock each time I do the calibration... You just need to know how much it has lost or gained since the last calibration, and the date of the last calibration (assuming the current date set on the calculator is correct), ...

Had a heck of a time creating the file in Win 10 with Notepad. Kept insisting on using a .txt extension instead of .cfg. Went back to an old MSDOS computer to create the file, then copied via floppy disk to my Win XT computer and then connected the DM42 to a USB port so I could copy it to the FAT d...

I think the rtccalib.cfg value shown by the program possibly needs to be negated, or possibly the drift needs to be negated. I'm not sure which! On 2019-03-31 (beginning of EU summer time), I set the calculator to the correct time. On 2019-07-17 (108 days later), I noted my calculator had gained ab...

So far so good! Two-key rollover response feels much improved compared to 3.14. But I have another small bug report: you forgot to give this minor firmware update version number 3.142. ;) Surely it should be 3.141, so the next minor update can append a 9? This reminds me of the version numbering of...

Also, when rounding to an integer, the program adds 0.5 and takes the integer part. That's okay for positive values, but is incorrect for negative values. (IP truncates towards zero, not towards negative infinity.) Is it well known that ENTER FP + IP correctly rounds to the nearest integer, even fo...

Hard cases for storing portable 2.5 inch hard drives / SSDs are quite good, such as these ones by Inateck: https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B00L35UID0 https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/I/717ouMlSEhL._SL1000_.jpg (I'm sure very similar cases are available with different brands.) The main down...

It's probably technically feasible on the DM42 from a hardware point of view (using the STM32's RTC alarm capabilities), but probably a lot of effort from a software point of view.
