Does anyone know of a calculator that supports variable word length (8, 16, 32) math, like the old 16C? Does anyone have a decent 16C they'd like to sell *cheap*? -Dave lowry@honeywell.src.com

The HP48SX supports variable word size for binary integers. I suspect the 28S probably does this, as well. -- Dave Seaman ags@seaman.cc.purdue.edu

The HP42S does not (fixed at 36 bits). The HP41C Advantage Pac does not (fixed 32 bits).
