I wonder if they'll do a 32S or 32Sii clone in that case. Couldn't hurt to have one of those too, right?

Ok, now I want a 97 clone!!

Edited: in a landscape format, please...

Well, if as we all seem entitled to dream ...

For those who have spent their formative time with an HP-41 a different and a bit more realistic question keeps creeping back into the brain:

The DM42L hardware should also be capable of taking a, well, DM41P. I could not really convince myself to buy a DM41L because that keyboard layout is just too weird. But a DM41P with a display that could be used for displaying all the stack, emulating a printer or displaying graphic and text using all the screen real estate might really be interesting.

Swiss micros did implement the 41 firmware on the Dmxxx hardware so far and now they would have an agreeable hardware layout. Am I overlooking something there?

Thank you for any comment!
