 When I first got into all of this I worked at an HP dealer. I found on a tape a demo program that HP made that runs on the 71. It starts with the HP logo and a little man running across the screen. then goes on to describe the features of the "new" HP71. It's pretty cool to watch it. There was also a little memory game that you can run too. I miss the old HP ▼

I wonder if I have a copy of the program. It's probably in the LIF archive somewhere.
I have owned over 200 of these devices over the years. I'm down to 3 right now, I think. Well, 3 that work. I probably have a dozen or so in various states of decomposition.
I love the HP-71B. In my opinion, it is the best handheld that HP ever made. I still use one at work. I have owned almost every handheld that HP ever produced. The HP 71B and the HP 41 were two calculators that I drove from Seattle to Corvallis, on the day of release, to get one. I still remember having to beg one of the sales staff to take one home and I'd pick it up at his home, since I couldn't get there before they closed. He obliged. :-) Direct from HP. That was service. Those days are gone.

Hi, I have an EPROM copy of this DEMO... ;-) running on a "card reader" HHP EPROM box. Mail me if you're interested in the file (EPROM binary image), I'll be happy to share. Best from the Canary Islands. ▼

If anyone wants to send me a tape I can do likewise. I wish I still had the 9114 floppy drive.
