About Aurora FN1000 - Renato - 07-01-2003 It looks better in pictures than in real life. I tried one in a shop in Brazil, even tried a short program loop (quite fast execution). The plastic finish, keys and display are not much better than a $30 calc.
Re: About Aurora FN1000 - Ellis Easley - 07-03-2003 The numbers displayed in the first picture look like program steps. Especially "43" which would be the "g" prefix key on a real 12C ("43 33 65" = GTO 65). Is this how they implemented program keycodes - exactly the same as the 12C? How does the user read a program? Do they have a keycode conversion chart?
Re: About Aurora FN1000 - Renato - 07-03-2003 I *think* fn1000 uses the same keycodes as the 12c. Re: About Aurora FN1000 - Paul Brogger - 07-03-2003 Other ways of asking the question are, "Did they copy the HP-12C ROM bit-for-bit?" or, "Did they simply reverse-engineer the 12c without understanding (!!!) what the keycodes meant?" One might also wonder, was either of these paths taken with permission from H-P?
Very bizarre . . .
