HP41 emaluation Message #1 Posted by Eric Foers on 7 Jan 2012, 2:55 p.m.
I have just had a thought on the practical use of HP41 emaluators. What I find 'difficult' (for want of a better word) about the PC versions, is that you either have to use the mouse, or you have limited keyboard facilities.
This could be overcome by someone building a USB keypad with the 41's keys which interacts with the emulation software. I am not able to do so myself, but would glady pay for one (& suspect that may of us who would like to see the 41 revived would also), and imagine that there are one or two specialists who subscribe to this site who could.
There could be additional facilities on such a keypad, like a activation switch & memory on which to store programs, which would then be portable between PC's.
