HP 15C Collector's Edition and C47 (successor to WP-43S & C43) calculators

<< < (4/4)

RAPo:
when you get a cable from the calculatorstore, you can do the upgrade yourself.


--- Quote from: ebastler on March 28, 2024, 03:12:35 pm ---If you buy a 15C Collector's Edition model new, make sure to ask the seller whether the firmware has been updated.

As an Easter Egg, the firmware offers the option to switch to HP-16C mode (the programmer's calculator). This capability has been in the Collector's Edition since its launch, but originally had a rather annoying bug in decimal mode. Fixed now, and good resellers should make sure that the firmware has been updated.

A silicone keyboard overlay with the 16C lettering is available from https://www.thecalculatorstore.com/, and possibly from other resellers too. They also offer a programming cable, for those who bought the calculator early and want to update it to a bug-free 16C option.

As an aside: While Moravia have a license to the "hp" logo and apply it in the upper right corner of the calculator, they cannot print "Hewlett Packard" in the lower left, as on the original Voyager series calculators. Pity...
