- 1 kilobyte is 1 kB = 1000 bytes. Remember kg, km, kV, etc.
- Those kibibytes were created by the IEC. Credit where credit is due. The SI just recommends them.
- At the bottom line, a byte is no SI unit, so SI is in no way authorized to regulate anything in this area.
- IEC, on the other hand, doesn't seem to be qualified for coherent regulations since 1 kB = 1000 bytes <> 1 KB = 1024 bytes but 1 MB = 10^6 bytes <> 2^20 bytes = 1 MB ?? Never seen MiB printed on any product case so far.
DM42 specs: doesn't it have 8MB of external flash?
Re: DM42 specs: doesn't it have 8MB of external flash?
Yes in principle but:
WP43 SN00000, 34S, and 31S for obvious reasons; HP-35, 45, ..., 35S, 15CE, DM16L S/N# 00093, DM42β SN:00041
Re: DM42 specs: doesn't it have 8MB of external flash?
None of this explains the senseless specification "Flash memory: 32 MBit external flash". I still suspect that it is the incorrect takeover of the speed.
My programmable calculators - former: CBM PR100, HP41CV, HP28S, HP11C - current: HP48G(256kB), HP35S, Prime, DM41X, DM42
Re: DM42 specs: doesn't it have 8MB of external flash?
It is not a mistake. It should be 64MBit. Probably came from a prototype-stage value which hasn't been updated for some reason. Thanks for pointing it out! It will be corrected.
Re: DM42 specs: doesn't it have 8MB of external flash?
Seems I need some extra logic lessons. Is it a mistake or not now? 64MBit = 8MByte.

Re: DM42 specs: doesn't it have 8MB of external flash?
I meant to say it wasn't a mistake on invariant's part. But his phrase structure clearly doesn't imply he meant that, so I was the one being illogical there.
The mistake is on the website and will be corrected. It is 64MBit and not 32MBit.
