Re: HP34C Manual - 30 years ago Message #5 Posted by Ed Look on 15 Nov 2008, 6:58 p.m., in response to message #1 by Ed Austin
Ed, actually it came with a Quick Reference Card, laminated and folded in four parts, explaining stack, indirect register, program memory usage and error messages. Then there was also a plain thick paper/thin cardboard card with a small update on the 34C's integration function. In addition to these little things were two booklets with soft covers stapled on the folds, "Solving Problems with Your Hewlett-Packard Calculator" and "HP-34C Applications".
I suppose the former booklet is like today's included user manuals with the current HP calculators, and the spiral bound high content manual was like perhaps the HP-48G Series Advanced User's Reference Manual, explaining in detail the actual programming and what happens when, and how to press the buttons on the keyboard.
(I still remember the off white/brick red box! The box didn't last too many years, though, unlike the calculator and manuals.)
