Having recently fixed my 41C card reader (thanks for the tubing and video Geoff!), I'm going through the programs on my cards and found a 29C simulator. I'm sure I didn't write it and I can't find any indication that it was in the Users Library. Does anyone know where this might have come from?

Hmm. Looking at it more closely, it appears to be incomplete. Maybe I did write it Smile

.

Thanks,
Dave

Hmmm... I'm not sure of the use case for that. I would think it would be fairly easy to convert (and improve) an HP-29C program to run on an HP-41.

Yeah, the more I look at the code and think about it, the more I suspect this was my young self playing around with the idea.

OK, but I'm still curious: what would an HP29C emulator program do on an HP41C ?
Adjust the summation registers for the statistical functions? Emulate ISZ and DSZ? Translate RCL(i) to RCL IND 00 ?

Hi Dave and Geoff,

Could you share this video with us?

I need to fix a card reader too!

TIA

I think he means this one which I used as well:

Yup! That's it.

I'm curious too.... Smile

What can I say, I was probably 16 at the time. This wasn't very well thought out, as with most things at that age.
