HP-1XE: All four emulators (HP-11E, HP-12E, HP-15E/X and HP-16E).

I haven't tried HrastProgrammer's HP-16E emulator myself yet (it is a bit on the pricey side just to give it a try), but it seems to be great to run existing programs for the 16C on modern calculators without modifications.

However, the fact, that it runs the original HP microcode in an emulator also means that the functionality will remain limited to that of the old calculator, even though the modern system would allow for much more (larger display for multi-line stack display or even graphics which could be used to visualize more advanced operations on integer numbers, larger memory to store streams of data to be processed etc.). Therefore I find Jake's approach to integrate the 16's capabilities into the RPL environment as much as possible much more forward-oriented. Of course, the real solution would be to conceptually integrate the functionality into RPL itself (and then further build on it by adding more advanced bit and stream manipulating functions etc.), perhaps a task for newRPL or the "WP 43s"...
