After HP stopped making the 42S, it made a last batch of
them in order to fulfill warranty claims. Some 42S that
were not used in this fashion were later given/sold to
users. I have a 42S that comes from this later batch,
and I am curious to know how close it is to the last
42S ever made. The serial number of mine is:
ID91809752
Indicating it was made in 1999, week number 18, serial n. 9752 in that week. What's the last serial number anyone
has for an HP 42S?

I wonder who that could be Jalo?
Actually the ones with the serial numbers ID027 were the last batch ever made. So I guess who has the last serial number of that batch has the last one.

Hi, Iqbal. Yup, this one I bought from you back in September 2000. The whole serial number is ID02702892. Did you sell me the last one?

Does anybody have a 42S that they would like to sell? Or does anybody know where I could find one. I lost mine after 13 years, and hate to start using another.

I wish to nominate my HP-42s as possibly being the last
*regular production* HP-42s made. The first 5 characters
of the serial number are 3543S, indicating that it was
made in the last week of October, 1995 in Singapore.
