For more information about HP-42S please see Here you can find emulators for HP-42S (very nice) I would like to finish this introduction saying that it would be nice to have the HP-42S back to life again and even better to have a model (both real and in simulator/emulator form) based on HP-42S but with some of the 33S features like more memory, an equation editor, fractions, program lines starting with letters, physical constants, units conversion, less useless functions, etc.Ħ And it also would be nice to have HP-42S ROM images for free just like what happened to HP-48G and other models and keeping PDF versions of the manuals of retired models to download would be nice too. This because I suppose most owners don't have the printer (and it is not so useful) and also haven't had a HP-41 prior to HP-42S.ĥ If you want to download the fantastic Thomas Okken free42 program please go to this web site ~demun000/thomas_projects/ free42 / In my opinion free42 is even better than the real HP-42S. Two things I really don't want to see here are PRINTING and HP-41 compatibility.

It is important to say that this Manual is not complete and I don't want it to be.

This calculator played an unique position among HP calculators! Being a scientific programmable 100% RPN calculator, it also had some graphing abilities but was pocketed sized and non RPL (some people as me like RPN, but dislike RPL). I know some other HP models from the past and the present like 48G, 49G, 28S, 33S, 20S, 6S Solar, 15C, and even a TI-36X Solar, etc, but 42S is my favorite.Ĥ And because there is a free simulator ( free42 ) that works on Palm OS, Windows and Linux and there are also some emulators (at the moment emulators are only useful for who has a real calculator since HP-42S roms are not freely available). e) Have the official Manual but don't want to read more than 300 pages! Why HP-42S? Because it was a very, very nice calculator and also a powerful one. c) Have a palmtop with PalmOS and want a nice scientific calculator (get free42 ) d) Just want to have an idea how 42S was.

b) Got the free42 simulator and want to know how to use it. This Manual will be of interest to people who: a) Have a HP-42S calculator and lost its Manual. I have a HP-33S and had a HP-48G, but my brother has one and I also use free42 simulator for PalmOS.
