RE: What is the side slot on the HP 41CX for?
The first HP-41C calculators came with a rechargeable battery pack. You insert the A/C supply in the side port to charge the battery pack while using the calculators. Later on, HP switched to a battery holder that uses the N alkaline batteries. So the side charger port became the HP-41C version of the human appendix--useless!
