Well, in truth I was only kidding, I believe there were no production changes regarding the clump factor.

That s/n would actually be 1989, week 40, the 42S was discontinued around 1996. Hard to believe it was that long ago, but it is. Sad that virtually nothing better has come along since, for RPN users (in hardware that is).

But the new (in beta test now) DM42 from SwissMicros will be changing that, thanks to Thomas Okken's fabulous Free42 simulator; more precision than one could ever use (though several folks here will do their best to prove that statement wrong) a much better screen, large RAM with easy program exchange with PC, and easier to use Alpha mode.

No, 1999 earliest, Indonesia made no 42S in '89.
