Basic operation was OK with all three, but the 19C crashed when I tried to run a program on it: the display went dark and it stopped responding to the keyboard. Toggling the ON/PRGM/RUN switch made the display come back on, but showing nonsense. No way for me to say if this is a bug in the emulator or a side effect from running in a VM.

Also, the print-head moves slower than the sound, so you hear it make the high-pitched "carriage return" sound while it's still printing the line.

MacBook Air 11" running MacOS 10.12.5
VirtualBox 5.0.22 r108108
Windows 10 Pro, 64-Bit, with all the latest updates
CCE33 with HP25 and HP19C modules; HP97; all downloaded today

Thanks for the feedback.

The HP19c works fine on my win7 machine.

The print head speed can be synchronised with the sound by right clicking the calculator and selecting [Options] [Print Head Speed]

I tried the same test on a PC running Windows 10 Home 64-bit on the metal, with the same result. This is the program:

01 LBL 0
02 1
03 STO 0
04 LBL 1
05 2
06 STO+ 0
07 1
08 STO 1
09 LBL 2
10 2
11 STO+ 1
12 RCL 0
13 RCL 1
14 X^2
15 X>Y?
16 GTO 3
17 CLX
18 LASTX
19 /
20 FRC
21 X=0?
22 GTO 1
23 GTO 2
24 LBL 3
25 RCL 0
26 PSE
27 GTO 1

Switch to RUN mode; try running program by saying GSB 0. Display goes black.

N.B. Running the equivalent programs in the HP-25 and HP-97 emulators went fine. I love how even the flickering junk in the display looks authentic. :-)
