Memory is shared between calculator states. Plus, a feature pending implementation will drastically augment the calculator programming capability. We can only ask for your patience here. :)

"The number of lines stored in program memory is only limited by available memory."
So we have 439K to use in programs with only 27 Labels?
We must be missing something!
I guess, if they're going to "merge" the features of the 32sii with the 35s, you'll get indirect variables (i and/or j), as in the 35s, which have 801 indirect labels, of which is restricted by its memory of 32k.

You're missing plenty... but nothing that some patience won't reward.

The user manual is up at https://technical.swissmicros.com/dm32/ ... anual.html
I just noticed it too. An on-line html manual, not a pdf we could download for in-depth study.
You can save an the html web page as a pdf file. Just open the Print dialog for the window in your browser displaying the manual, and change the destination to "Save as pdf."

I noticed that in the User Manual section 19.1. Specifications it lists the processor speed as 80 MHz, but that the SM website shows it as max. 160 MHz. Please explain.

I found a few minor typos in the User Manual as follows:

Table of Contents : 16.1 "Soving a program" should be "Solving a program"

Section 11.2. : "equality-" should be "equality-type"

Section 16.1. : "Soving a program" should be "Solving a program"

80MHz on battery and 160MHz with external power source perhaps?

If so, why wouldn't this be mentioned in the User Manual ?

Ok, so I'll wait for the desert to order my 275$ diner... too expensive for meet and potatoes, and no visibility on further enhancements...

Just keep in mind that for the moment "meet and potatoes" are more expensive than a MINT HP48SX or GX with black/dark screen (around 250$) :shock:

I'm not familiar with the DM32, but I'm curious. Since the GTO may target a label and a line number within that label, are they automatically adjusted when the user deletes or inserts program lines?

About the meat and potatoes, I didn't know the HP48 was still on the market, surely they're only old 2nd-hand calculators? But yes, the high price of the DM32 has dissuaded me, at least until I know what the firmware enhancements are. Why the secrecy? I'm not sure it's beneficial, but I suppose there's a doubt that some of them are feasible; if that's the case, perhaps SM could tell what is certain at this point?
