This made the solver more than just an equation solver; it is a real minimum programming language. Yes indeed this manual is a real treasue for 27S, 17B/BII and 19B/BII owners. Reveals several undocumented (until this manual was released) features in those machines, and lots of gory examples to illustrate. Wish they had made more manuals like this one. I got one cheap on TAS last year, a steal. Also, it's on the Museum DVD; like so many other things in there, this alone is worth the price. Check this out if you have one of these machines, and note that the Title says it's for 27S/19B only, but the 17B/BII (original Pioneer models) use the same Solver Don described. Later 17B stepchildren unfortunately have the Solve which has several issues, described by Don in earlier Forum posts (easy to find w/search). --Bob Prosperi |
