Re: The final version of HP-41X is available! Message #12 Posted by Massimo Gnerucci (Italy) on 14 May 2002, 9:20 a.m., in response to message #6 by HrastProgrammer
A really good job Ž... sorry, HrastProgrammer ;)
After testing the full RC version during last week I can say that I found no serious bug (actually I found no bug at all).
It is indeed a very usable and stable 41C "emulator"; the only drawback is about the keyboard: it takes a little to get used to the remapping...
This library perfectly mimics the original and improves on it in many ways (i.e. the possibility to load much more ROMs) this way you won't miss neither the time module nor ED. I love the way printer and card reader are implemented.
This thing is much faster than a real 41 but when speed could be a concern (i.e. a CATalog display) Hrast slowed it down to match the original.
Having 3391 registers available is disconcerting at first and if you add the Hepax module to this...
I think that all we nostalgic 41 users should thank you: we are now waiting for a 48GX version to have the perfect hardware for this masterpiece ;)
