The HP-67 has 10 mantissa digits internally. The result of 1/(9 E+87) is
1.111111111000.... E -88
times 8 is
8.888888888000.... E -88

The comment assumes , that there are more internal mantissa digits present, which is obviously only true in the RPN-67 simulator. The original HP-67 is not wrong, but shows the limit of its internal precision.

That's one small step for a man - one giant leap for mankind.
