Re: it's not off topic... - Juergen Keller - 09-20-2012 Do you mean that an HP-41 is pictured somewhere? I was looking for something shown in the picture below, but couldn't find it.
Re: Link - Ángel Martin - 09-21-2012 The article mentions NASA wrote their mission software into custom ROMs. Any idea of their whereabouts today, anyone?
