HP-41CV vs. HP-41CX: 12KB vs. 24KB Message #1 Posted by Chris Catotti (Florida) on 26 Oct 2003, 10:20 p.m. I was looking through my HP stuff and came across an advertising booklet (HP 5954-1474 12/87) Selling Hewlett-Packard Calculators . While describing The HP-41/CV/CX Advanced Programmable Calculators it states: Quote: - 24K-byte operating system (HP-41CV has 12K) I guess they must be counting the TIME MODULE and EXTENDED FUNCTIONS modules as 8K more. Is the TEXT EDITOR the additional 4K, or did I miss something? What is the mainframe address structure (please review in case I missed something) following the 4K page concept and numbering 4K blocks as Hex 0 through F. Thanks!
