Dave's Ridiculous Calculator (DL-13c) - johnb - 02-13-2014 07:52 PM

In the old forums, a poster named "Dave L" discussed a Frankencalculator project of his, the DL-13c, or "Dave's Ridiculous Calculator." He was repurposing a couple of HP-12c's to build a "Scientific / Computer Scientist / Crypto" calculator. Last post I found regarding it was in 2012.

Does anyone know this user? How's his project going?

Inquiring minds want to know!

Yup! His last post was dated August 26, 2012.
Just wondering if "Real Life" [tm] got in the way, or if he finished the project... and if so, how'd it turn out?

Judging from his guesstimated feature set, I'd definitely want to help out if I could, or at least pay him to build a second one for me! :-)
