Being my country in Covid lockdown o decided to play a little with my HP200lx, bought several years ago just for curiosity (a real bargain) but never used.
Well.... Aside the fascination of having an old msdos pc, I started playing with the calculator module.
Despite being not programmable (who cares? Just install your favorite language interpreter/compiler) has, a very good solver with multiple equations storage, named variables and other nice things like interface with Lotus 123.
In short, it easily outperform my 35s considering my daily calculation needs.
So I bought 4 Eneloop AA and started using it daily.... :-)
Congratulations!

Have a look at J-F Garnier's site for HP41 and HP71 emulators.

And then UBASIC is very powerful number crunching tool.

It's not comforting to see I need the Wayback machine to get the English version!

And you can't even order a 200LX on Amazon! :(

"UBASIC" in your favorite search engine should help.

The combination of HP Calc and Lotus 1-2-3 makes for an absolutely fantastic business calculator. It's my go-to handheld for spreadsheets. If you can find a copy of any of Que's "Using 1-2-3" books - ideally for releases 2.2 through 2.4 - don't pass it up.

I need to get around to trying UBASIC one of these days. Turbo Pascal 5.5 is also great for doing development on the go.

Careful, there is a UBASIC and an unrelated uBASIC.

Download for UBASIC here, along with some graphic programs.
