Wow!!!

So now I know why you have been so busy lately

Cheers,

PS: I have tried selecting the 2.02 bug version of the HP35 in your emulator, but if I do it crashes.

Not sure if this has ever been accomplished before, but an emulator for the HP-10 (Keep it simple stupid- KISS) calculator is available from teenix.org

For the purists, the code is not original as I don't think it is easily obtainable given that the code is locked away inside a large chip package which would probably have to be destroyed to get it out.

Anyway, all I had to go on was the owners manual and wrote the microcode for this calculator from scratch. As far as I can tell it produces the exact results that the book demonstrates including the print outs.

I must say, that my hat is definitely off to the original engineers who had to create code for these calculators. Especially back in the day when these concepts, processors circuits and ideas were all new an untested. Its not an easy task getting your head around the programming concepts of these processors - not for my old brain anyway :-)

cheers
