SR-56C? Interesting idea.

RE: SR-56C? Interesting idea.
I wonder...

What about hard-wiring some power to the memory chip, bypassing the ON/OFF switch? And the CPU, if it contains a power-on clear memory routine. It would eliminate the drain from the LEDs. I wonder what current just the chips would pull?

I always preferred the SR-56 over the HP-25 as it had subroutines. And it had 100 steps memory to compensate for the unmerged codes - roughly on par with the 49 fully-merged steps in the 25.

However, I would always chose the 25C simply because of the continuous memory. So a 56C would certainly tip the balance for me. The 56 looked like a calculator. The 25C, though I still love it, looks like a bathtub.
