Modern Interface for HP 9100 Calculator

[trevor]

HP9100 owners-

Details of interfacing with the HP 9100 Calculator are well documented in HP's
09100-90031_9100A-B_InterfacingManual_Feb70

Any of several current Single Board Computers (such as Arduino, BeagleBone, or Raspberry Pi) allow for a simple useful interface to the modern world,
enabling hard copy printing, program storage on USB flash-drives, and so on.

The HP9100 continues to be a very useful tool, even though it's over fifty years old, but is somewhat crippled by the obsolescence of magnetic cards and thermal printer paper.

Is there interest among the HP9100 owners in such an interface ?

Hello!

I am not user of HP9100, but believe that you can go on.

Today many modern radios have turned into RETRO and VINTAGE models.

It's a growing market

I'll say it's growing! I'd give a kidney to get a working 9100B! They're rare and getting very expensive these days.
