He's a new user, my answers are perhaps not so clear for a newcomer as they are for old timers. I feel his questions are valid and pertinent.

Yes, the first post is so old I should probably rewrite it from scratch... or should we start a new thread?

Now that's how you answer questions, thank you.

Just to clarify, HP Prime hardware is not supported, but porting effort is not discarded in the future if/when:
a) Somebody else puts some effort into basic drivers and libraries for an alternative firmware on the Prime, saving us tons of work. Only a small effort on alternative firmware for the Prime puffed and died out on the same day around 2014 (if my memory served me well).
b) The hp50g hardware becomes a rarity and price goes up to make it more expensive than the Prime.
