ROM dump of HP-35 version 2 (with bugs)
Message #1 Posted by Peter Monta on 19 Feb 2006, 5:50 p.m.

There's a ROM dump of the HP-35 version 2 (the one with bugs) available at my HP-35 page.

Seems to work fine with Nonpareil; Eric, feel free to add it to the distribution if you think that buggy firmware is appropriate to include.

The ROM chips are marked 1818-0006, 1818-0017, and 1818-0020. Here's the errata list from HP---all the described bugs seem to be present.

It will be interesting to analyze the exp() bug---was it an algorithmic error or merely a typo in some constant? The trig bugs also involve arguments with 0.0002 or similar, though, so maybe they're all CORDIC related.

Cheers, Peter Monta
