There is a lot of additional modules for the 41 available, and Angel Martin is always working on some more

I don't think it's a good idea to buy a DM42 now and reflash it later as a WP43S because the keyboard layout is completely different. Maybe a faceplate for the WP43C will become available, but who knows...

So we will not enjoy the DM42 screen on Free42. I was hoping for a "convergence" between DM42 and Free42.
Sad enough, considering that i have total consistency using real 48/50 and emulated ones on pc and android platforms.

I went across HP41 manual and i found that there are no named variables, only registers. I suppose the same will be in DM41x. This is limiting in my way of using the calculator.

I follow the threads relevant to WP43S/C on Swissmicros forum and i tend to appreciate a lot the "C" branch.

Still thinking about DM42......
