New Heights..? Message #1 Posted by Chris on 10 Dec 1999, 11:56 a.m. Last night the collecting craze for HP41 accessories reached new heights on eBay - new heights of either lunacy or enthusiasm, depending on your point of view. That HEPAX 8K extended memory module (recently discusssed here) sold for $150(without even the 100 page instruction manual)! Maybe VM Electronics or a successor could start making them again - the production price would be way less than the $270 odd in 1988, with modern RAM and already developed machine code. We need a hardware development group for the HP41 - there seems to be enough examples of this sturdy design out there to make it viable.

Re: New Heights..? Message #3 Posted by thib on 10 Dec 1999, 12:49 p.m., in response to message #2 by Chris other correction : this was a "advanced Hepax" so a 16K! Still $310.00!!

The HePax module is 16K of ROM and 16K of RAM!!! Please make some. I want one! BTW I guess you didn't see the auction for the Special Weapons ROM that sold for $180 a couple of weeks ago. Joe
