DM48n

Double CPU speed and double flash memory !

This is certainly also very interesting for the DB48x

And much more RAM available to the DM42. Aprox 415K on the DM42n vs ~32K on the DM42.

I have a DM42 (n is on order) and have a few programs in it. I still have 73784 bytes of memory free. Are you sure about the 32K figure?

I was going by what Bob Prosperi reported in the post I referenced. He may have had a lot of programs/data on his DM42.

Tom is right, a DM42 with an empty state file has about 74K of available RAM. The number I reported in the other thread was simply how much my daily use DM42 had available when I grabbed it. Just last night I checked both devices with a new, blank state file:

DM42 CAT MEM => 75,640 bytes (empty state file)
DM42n CAT MEM => 455,988 bytes (empty state file)

I love those first three words!

All that extra RAM is one reason I ordered the n! (That's not n factorial)

To the point where you titled your thread DM48n and not DM42n. I appreciate the compliment ;-)

small mistake but thanks :-)

What I'm wondering is, will db50x running on the DM42n suffer the same speed penalty as when running on the DM32? Because currently db48x which runs on the DM42 is currently 2 times faster than db50x on the DM32 (see https://www.hpmuseum.org/forum/thread-97...e%20plenty) which nevertheless benefits from a processor which is supposedly twice as fast! Even if the DM32 and DM42n share the same hardware, do they share the same speed limitation (especially since they will both be based on DMCP5, I believe)? Or is it a matter of principle that makes the DM32 run twice as slowly as the DM42?

Tell us when you can clarify the situation.
