Yes, but it does not correspond to any actual hardware, so why test it that way, wishful thinking or do I miss something?

Maybe it is a matter of different use-cases, my interest is in using real HP-41 hardware. I am open to re-evaluating this, if the situation changes or if I am proven wrong.

Well, testing on V41with patched [MASK] confirms that the [ED] patch is correct. That has a ton of value in my mind. And who knows, there may be other/new machines cappable of displaying the lower case chars soon available... time will tell.
