I have thought about it, and about HP 75C/D overlays as well. Yes, it would be possible, of course, at least I can't see major obstacles.
But: The interest in HP 41 overlays has been rather modest so far, and for several reasons I'm sure that the interest in HP 71b overlays would be significantly lower. Since I'd have to pay a considerable amount for "R&D", several test runs, the creation of the DTP templates etc., and afterwards wouldn't probably sell more than 50 overlays, this project would become just too expensive. ( For comparison: I invested almost € 1000.- in preproduction costs for the HP 41 overlays, and I sold only slightly above 100 overlays so far.)

After Bob's effort with the overlay scans it seemed like the next step. Thank you for the insight into some of what's behind a project like this.

Yes, I'm my assistant's guardian. I've had him for 13 years.
