HP 9100 display trick
Message #1 Posted by Juergen Keller on 30 Apr 2012, 5:48 p.m.

As you probably know, memory is shared between programs and data in HP 9100 calculators. By recalling program code as data you can display strange "numbers". When playing with that feature I ended up with the following oscillation display. Just a curiosity, completely useless, but nevertheless kind of fun.

But it's so slow! You need an oscillation overthruster, Dr. Banzai!
