RE: 8-Queens Benchmark
Well, it's your list, but it seems a shame to leave out the best calculators HP ever made, simply because they contain too many molecules. I had always assumed that your list didn't include 9100/9800 series machines because they're somewhat rare and nobody had submitted benchmarks yet, so I was rather excited that we were obtaining rare benchmarks for you. You might want to qualify your list as only including 'small' or 'personal' calculators, as there is currently no obvious indication of this rather arbitrary qualifier.

As far as whether the 9825 is a calculator or not, it's certainly debatable from a forensic standpoint, but the designers refer to it as a calculator in the original patent, and it was referred to as a calculator in all early documentation. HP only started calling it a computer once they realized the term carried marketing value.

On the preumption that Xerxes isn't going to come around to my way of thinking, I would very much like to obtain and publish N-Queens benchmarks for the HP 9100 (can it run N-Queens? I have no idea), 9810, 9815, 9820, 9821, 9825, 9831, 9835 and 9845. I would also welcome results from their contemporaries, such as the Olivetti P101, Wang programmables, etc.
