The only real way to address this problem is to add the ACT simulation code for the Woodstock calculators. In this way, the original intent of the HP microcode can be realized and it will work as expected. This will require big changes to your software but will be a great and interesting challenge to add to what you have achieved so far.

Check out any web information you can find for "Eric Smith" to see how the HP code was used in modern emulators. There are plenty of HP code listings available for this model of calculator including my emulator at teenix.org

I'm happy to help out if you want to try this approach and get stuck along the way.

Tony,
Someone replied to me and told me that they cannot post replies. I was not aware of it. I reposted it in this forum instead.

Thank for your reply. Let me review what you are suggesting and I will get back to you.

Nigel, from the forum, suggested this library: Big Numbers on Arduino, that seems to provide more accuracy than I could ever imagine.
