>I used to have this. Works like a charm on older macintosh systems. Not sure, but probably pre Mac OS 9, maybe even has to run under OS 7.X
You probably remember the Calculator Construction Set (CCS), a piece of software that was marketed in the early '90s. It allowed you to build your own calculator using HP-like interface (in black-and-white). I bought it once but didn't work well; I think it was not compatible with System 7.5 or 8.0, and the company that made it either ceased operations or discontinued the product.
This HP-12C desk accessory reminds me strongly of the CCS, and I wouldn't be surprised if it had been built using it. If that's the case, there is little to no chance that the program will run under modern versions of the Mac OS. In fact, unless the program comes in "fat" format, it would only run on pre-PowerPC Macs such as Quadras, LCs, or the IIfx.
Mac OS X? Forget t!
