The HP-67 and the HP-97:
Interchangeable Software
Programs that have been recorded onto cards by your calculator can
be loaded and run in your calculator as often as you like. They can
also be run on any HP-67 Programmable Pocket Calculator or on
any HP-97 Programmable Printing Calculator. In fact, software
(i.e., a group of programs) is completely interchangeable between
these two Hewlett-Packard calculator models—any programs that
have been recorded onto a card using the HP-97 can be loaded into
and run on the HP-67, and vice versa. Data cards are also inter-
changeable between the two calculators. All functions and switches
operate alike on the two calculators, with the exception of the printing
functions on the HP-97 and the automatic list functions of the HP-67.
Keycodes
You can see the similarities of the HP-67 and the HP-97 in the illustra-
tions shown on pages 300-301. Although some of the nomenclature
on the keys varies, the difference is so slight that you will find it easy
to operate either model of calculatorif you are familiar with the other.
For example,
on the HP-97 operates exactly the same as
on the HP-67, and (3
on the HP-67 is the same as
€2 on the HP-97.
When a program from one model of calculatoris loaded into the other
model, the keycode is transmuted to reflect the location of the function
on the new model. Keycodes are read alike on both models; first the
row, then the number ofthe key in the row, from the top down and
from left to right. Digit keysare represented by keycodes 00 through
09.
