The '''HP42s''', code named "Davinci", is a high-end RPN calculator in the HP Pioneer line. Introduced on the 31th of Oct. 1988, It was originally meant as a [[HP 41C]] replacement and thus had FOCAL compatibility, capable of running most HP 41C programs with little modification. However it was redefined to be a HP-15C successor late in its development cycle, consequently resulting in its lack of extensions and limited I/O capabilities, and was discontinued early (as compared to [[HP 17B]] and other Pionners) in favour of [[HP 48SX]] on 1st March 1996. | The '''HP42s''', code named "Davinci", is a high-end RPN calculator in the HP Pioneer line.
