Re: 42S reincarnation is possible? Message #5 Posted by Csaba Tizedes (Hungary) on 31 Jan 2011, 4:09 a.m., in response to message #3 by Tim Wessman
I have no data about types of CPU in the two unit, but on the finseth data base the two model seems to me same, with different ROM (the LCD, CPU (Lewis chip), memory, ... same).
I found an article here about the 42S:
I never opened a HP-42S, but from was I read in some posts, I think that there is a place for a second ROM. It's true for the HP17BII which have the same hardware, and it is how HP managed the two HP17BII versions (english and international with multiple languages): one common ROM and a second optionnal ROM.
I'm not a guru, but it's seems to me possible...
