He had a lot to say about how well the HP-92 worked. He also strongly disagreed with the initial price that marketing decided they could charge for this model.

His work with the HP-92 starts on page 149 of the following interview from 2005.
Interview with Dr. William Kahan - August 2005

That looks like a good read! Also available at The History of Numerical Analysis site.

I used to post that address for the Dr Kahan 2005 interview but for some reason not everyone can access that site. I can always access that site but I know there are at least several people that can’t.
