12c+ vs 12cp Message #1 Posted by Erturk Kocalar on 6 Mar 2011, 6:38 p.m. Hi all, Are the guts between 12c+ and 12cp same, if both of them have the wide battery door? I bought a 12cp recently for repurposing, but I don't see the test points for programming. The holes were covered with a thin plastic tape. It makes me think either 12cp is different hw design or hp changed 12c plastics to prevent repurposing. I am thinking of buying the 12c+ , but I want to make sure I can reprogram it. Thanks,

12cp speed differences (was Re: 12c+ vs 12cp) Message #4 Posted by Cristian Arezzini on 8 Mar 2011, 12:08 a.m., in response to message #1 by Erturk Kocalar This may be a bit off-topic, but I'm wondering... I too have one of the new, 2-battery 12Cs. I've read about the loop speed tests, specifically this one: 01 + 02 GTO 01 and I've seen results (after 60 seconds of the loop) of about 30,000 and about 45,000, in this post. My 12C, after 60 seconds of the same test, shows 76,000. Why all this difference? Is HP constantly changing chips/frequencies?? Cristian

It's 150 times faster than the original 12C. Read more about this here. -Katie

Re: 12cp speed differences (was Re: 12c+ vs 12cp) Message #7 Posted by Katie Wasserman on 8 Mar 2011, 9:53 a.m., in response to message #6 by Cristian Arezzini I don't know how you did your searching but the best way is to use google. In this case something like: "site:hpmuseum.org 12c+ speed" returns a lot about it. I sometimes remember the person who posted what I'm looking for and add this to my search criteria, this really narrows things down. Of course this requires that you read this forum regularly and are familiar with individual's areas of interest and expertise. On the other hand.... I don't think that most of the people here at all mind responding to questions that have come up before. It's a very friendly group and we all need help finding information on occasion. -Katie
