I finally got my calculator design posted. Right now there is no html file linking to the download. I will get around to that eventually. It's posted at www.series80.org/HP51S I would like to thank vassilip@ dsl.cis.upenn.edu (sorry i dont have a name) for the webspace. Basically if you download all the files and put them in the same folder, and run the .pdf. It will take you through and allow you to view all the other files. Sorry there is so many files. Originally, there was a single .zip file, but there was a miscommunication, and lack of explanation on my part so the zip file was unzipped to expose all the files. Hope you like it -Ben

Congratulations for designing an excellent entry.
I wish I had found the time to do one too, but it would be very similar to yours.

Cool stuff. Congrats!

What I wasn't able to see in your pdf (maybe just overlooked it):

Are the keys levered on one side, so that you always have a defined movement of the key when pressed? This is a quality sign, and is the case with nearly all HP calcs prior the 49G. The 49G and its relatives doesn't have a defined movement direction. Please compare, and you'll know what I mean.

Thanks in advance.

Regards,

Raymond
