ALL of the register address space?

I assume that the it will run the standard or slightly modified 41XC ROM's, so my expectation is ... normal 41CX behavior.

All correct. the 41X has full 41CX main and extended RAM, and can use all upper pages (including 4,6,7 but 6 is taken if you enable printing, as usual) for loading modules, plus several hundred KB of flash storage for holding modules ready to 'plug-in'. So, as for module storage, less than a CL can hold, but still likely hundreds more than anyone would want. Upper page support for RAM (aka qROM) is also available for HEPAX, etc.

There is also storage for multiple state files, off-screen images, screen shots, help files, .raw files for import and export, all of which are available via USB drag-n-drop, similar to the DM42.

There is no USB virtual HP-IL capability at launch.

So, while it is still 'only a 41CX', it extends that definition into new and different areas than have never been seen before.

It's cool.
