Given the stasis of the TI lineup and the regression of the HP one this would be very welcome, but it seems intentionally crippled to cater to standardized testing (and I'm not going to be able to port a real CAS to it in my spare time).
- com2kid 9y ago> but it seems intentionally crippled to cater to standardized testing (and I'm not going to be able to port a real CAS to it in my spare time). Ugh, sadly it seems you are right. It doesn't look like it has all the power than a TI-89 does. Very unfortunate, I was excited, now, not so much. :(
- liuhenry 9y agoI've been following the development of the SwissMicros DM42, a port of the HP 42S to modern hardware (based on the Free42 implementation): https://forum.swissmicros.com/viewtopic.php?t=3 https://forum.swissmicros.com/viewtopic.php?t=3 No CAS though, but it looks very nice in terms of a programmable RPN calculator.
- buserror 9y agoI have a swissmicro HP16C equivalent. I also have two real ones! the swissmicro is a bit disappointing I have say -- I hoped to be able to replace my real ones to 'save' them on wear and tear, but I moved back to the good 'ol ones with a sight a relief. Mostly the 'titanium' back is ever so slightly warped that it just nags at my OCD (enough that I CNC'ed myself a replacement back using plex [0]) and the membrane keyboard is rather poor.
