Re: HP 41 Advantage module test Message #5 Posted by Mike Morrow on 26 Feb 2013, 5:23 p.m., in response to message #4 by Dan Grelinger
There are several different versions/revisions of the Advantage Module as well, if one starts counting bits in ROM.
I was very disappointed in the Advantage Module that I purchased for my HP-41CX in the mid-1980s. Contrary to HP's claim, it did not make the HP-41C-series comparable to the HP-15C. The complex number capability of the Advantage Module is essentially identical to that already provided (very awkwardly, IMHO) by the old 1979 MATH module...very very very inferior to the native complex number capability of the HP-15C and the later HP-42S.
I found as an electrical engineer that the HP-15C was far more useful day-to-day than my HP-41CX with its highly-touted Advantage module. But admittedly, not always.
