The 41-CY turbo on Ebay
Message #1 Posted by Patrice on 15 June 2005, 2:02 p.m.

For me is looks like a simple HP-41CX with a turbo add in.

Nothing let me think that there is a rambox inside.

So be careful before bidding.

Your concerns are justified (Is my english correct?). This is only a CX with a turbo that is twice fast as normal turbos....

I wonder which parts were replaced to reach 4x.
I thought these CXs could only be accelerated to about 1.6x or maybe 2.7x .

So from the seller's side it seems to be missing knowledge
of what makes a normal CX a CY, or just name dropping;-)

Nevertheless it seems to be a nice machine,
even if it has nothing to do with a real CY.

All of you are Correct and thanks for point out the error. This is a hyper 41CX; upgraded with a hyper PBC board by synergistic Design Inc. At the time of purchase, it was displayed as a turbo 41cx/y and some of the literature that came with it was for a 41cy. I appreciate the education.

Answer from the vendor

'BASED ON RECENT EDUCATION, THIS IS A TURBO CX AND DOES NOT HAVE THE RAMBOX STORAGE CAPABILITY.'
