It seems nobody likes the 97

I am mostly with you regaring this statement. With one exception: If you have a non-working calculator for which no spare parts can be found (like the Woodstock or Spice series calculators) you have two options: Either throw it away or put a Panamatik or Teenix board inside and have a working calculator again. Of these options I prefer the second one! But as you write: Simulators and emulators and lookalikes (like the Swiss Micros series) are of very little interest to me. As is the printer of my HP-97. I rather have a non-printing but otherwise working 97 than one that I destroy while trying to fix the printer which I never will use anyway.
