There's a Swiss guy who's made a name for himself by producing working
replicas of classic HP calculators. See https://www.swissmicros.com/. I
recently discovered his post on Youtube a video showing off an enhanced
replica of my favorite HP calculator, the HP42s. This one is called the

Great progress has been made in running the Lambda firmware and diagnostics. A
way has been found to structure things such that the emulator is releasable
without infringing on anyone’s copyrights. Now what we need is software tapes,
specifically a Lisp distribution tape of any version.

Didn't understand the reason.
