WP-34S Questions - Matt Agajanian - 03-19-2012 Hello all. If I were to get a 34S, what steps are involved? Do I need to buy a calculator from HP first? Can I use a Macintosh with OS/X 10.4.11 to flash the ROM as well as other computer-based operations that are connected with the 34S?

Re: WP-34S Questions - Marcus von Cube, Germany - 03-19-2012 I' not aware of a free Wine port for the Mac that is easy to install (you can compile one for yourself), just a commercial version. Since I have to rely on Windows in too many situations of my job, I decided to install Parallels on my Mac. It works for me.
