thanks for your answers.

Massimo, take your time. it is not urgent. i found clever the integration with the laptop that sometimes it is used as a calculator alternative...

Thanks

Giancarlo,

It does work with Windows-10; no issues at all.

The key-echo rate is a bit slow and you can easily miss a key, but one can probably get used to it quickly.

The strings it uses for launching Word, Excel and "HP Calc" seem to be fixed, so you may need to add shortcuts (that use those fixed names) that point to the apps you really want these keys to run.

It would be interesting to have a 2005 vintage external keyboard launch the Prime Application. Though somehow it just seem incestuous...

Thanks for checking, Bob.
I found mine (while looking for the Quick calcs) still NIP.
I remembered to have used, some years ago, for some days an external calc/keypad via USB: I thought it was the Calcpad 200 but I was wrong: it was an ibico 121x instead...

I definitely have too many gadgets around! :D
