I haven't had a chance to check on real hardware but was under the impression that all these emulators used real ROMs.

Obviously your 15C version doesn't. HP's own 15C PC-emulator as well as the Panamatik HP67 emulator use the original ROM and return the correct result: 146,5424000.

If one of your simulators returns 146,5456 it would be interesting to know the intermediate results. I can't believe there is such a big roundoff error. So would you please post the results after each step?

183,38 →H gives 183,6333333
0,8 × this is 146,9066666 (last digit rounded down to 6)
→H.MS then returns 146,5424000

Now, what do you get?
