As far as any common hardware between HP and TI calculators go, not a chance. All of the integrated circuits for HP's calculators were developed by HP specifically for those calculators and are not available outside the company. I am not certain, but I suspect that the same is true of the TI calculators. Death Rowe hp-pcd!hp-cvd!mark Corvallis, Oregon
