Also the vendor stated that the calculator was able to used with just the AC adapter (also, I don't have the classic battery packs).

I am thinking pass, but it's tempting.

The '65 can read and write later 67/97/41 cards. If you have one available, bring it to the store and give it a try. Again, if all is legit, the seller should be willing to let you try.

The 21S is a nice machine for stats, but nowhere near the panache of a working HP-65. Still, if it doesn't feel right, I agree, go with the 21S. Then find some undocumented feature and show us in Nashville.

Received the 21S yesterday. They keyboard is very nice and everything is in working condition.

As I am going through the manual, I thought what was missing for both the 20S and 21S was the ability to store routines, which could be recalled by LOAD 0-9. But I like the preloaded the programs.
