hp prime and windows xp

[debrouxl]

Quote:My real issue with hp is that weve lost a lot of ground moving away from the serial port (even usb serial) for which i was able to use the 49/50 to run my homemade cnc machines among other lab equipment.

Like the TI-Nspire series, the Prime is a calculator targeted at students in the education behemoth and its exam mode idiocy, more than a calculator targeted at real-world usage...

Quote:Have you considered a rewrite of primecomm for android OTG?
That would make for a portable arrangement.

libhpcalcs can probably be made to work on Android - those Android devices whose kernel provides sufficient USB support, anyway - given that it work(ed) on Linux (besides Windows, MacOS X and one of the BSDs), and it's developed on Linux.
For the usual portability and interoperability reasons, libhpcalcs is written in C. The choice made 16 years ago by Romain Liévin and Julien Blache for libti* remains valid. Nothing beats C for portability and interoperability.
