Looking for HP-94 development software
I have found a HP-94 calculator but the development software (no matter how awkward to install, or what kind of host it requires) is nowhere to be found. Asking for help in this area: anyone can provide a source? Also, I am interested in some ROM board(s) if possible. Thank you.

...or use Dosbox.

https://www.dosbox.com/

Or you can use FreeDOS in a VirtualBox VM.

DosBox makes it easier than VirtualBox to get at the files you're working on.

Current daily drivers: HP-41CL, HP-15C, HP-16C

Search for vdos, or dosbox, as a means to run a dos environment in windows 10, or 11.

There are similar for Linux, and probably Apple machines as well.

No guarantee in suitability for your needs. ?

@Alex - You probably will need a real (Pentium-II or earlier) DOS system just to convert the .td0 disk images to real media; don't underestimate how tedious and annoying this part alone can be. It is feasible to do so using some modern conversion utilities, but still a non-trivial undertaking.
