Keep in mind the HP-42S was introduced as the successor of the HP-15C, and not the HP-41C. The original vision for what eventually became the 42S included I/O and it was going to be the 41C successor, but when that was yanked (debates ensue to this day as to why, I personally think it was to not impact 28C/S sales) HP knew that they had to re-position it, and ended up aiming a great deal lower.
