The HP 41C series must be the
top-of-the-bill calculator design of all time. It’s
the successor to the HP 67.
Even today this calculator is still totally up-to-date and
usable. It’s my all-time favourite series of calculators. I
even wanted to have "HP-41-CX" as my
(Dutch) car registration number, but the problem was they
don’t use the letter C. And even if they did, it would
have to be a very old car my now :-)
The HP 41C series has three models, here in chronological order: This model of the series has the larger memory capacity introduced with the HP 41CV and it has a built-in clock module which was optional for the other two models in the HP 41C series. There’s some information on the HP 41CX on HP’s official website (link validated 2024-01-13). For more information on this beauty please refer to the better sources, like The Museum of HP Calculators (link validated 2024-01-13). |
The 41CX has four easily accessible extension slots which can be used for ROM modules, a HP-IL connection, card reader, printer, even an HP 67 compatible card reader which translates HP 67 programs to HP 41 programs on the fly.
The only peripherals I own myself are the HP 82143A Peripheral Printer and the 82104A Card Reader.
