For those interested in using both the HP-15C and the HP-16C it's indeed the best solution by far: you buy a second unit and then you keep one of them permanently in HP-15C/192 mode and the other one permanently in HP-16C mode, both always ready to use at a moment's notice without losing all your programs and data and without wasting time performing tedious backup procedures before the switcheroo.

Matter of fact, to put my money where my mouth is, I'm getting my second unit precisely for that very purpose (and also to play it safe in case something would happen to my first one, perish the thought ! ). Hopefully it will arrive tomorrow from The Calculator Store.

Besides, come to think of it, people here often express their desire for the release of an HP-16C "Collector's Edition", incredibly fast and with vastly increased memory, which would allow e.g. programming the six trig functions, exp, log, y^x, all of them executing almost instantly and with plenty of program memory to spare.

Well, with the overlay in place this is it !

Since you can download the firmware, then upload again, is there anything preventing you from downloading the HP-15C Collector’s Edition firmware, then uploading to a HP-12C Platinum? If you are using the 16C overlay, it should not matter if the keys under the overlay are the 12C keys…. Is there any difference in speed between the 12C and 12C platinum if the 15C firmware is uploaded? Can this even be done?

I have ordered the cable from TheCalculatorStore.com and am excited about the possibilities!

I also have the HP-15C LE and wish I could upgrade the firmware, but don’t have the correct cable nor the required software and files…
