    DB48x certainly has a GitHub site with freely downloadable pieces of software that can run on the calculator. For instance here: https://github.com/c3d/db48x/tree/stable/library So…

    It's a tribute to Hewlett and Packard, but taking the first names, and with the individuals reversed for balance. I do not believe there is any possible infringement on a clearly n…

    In theory yes. In practice, the TI 83/84 are probably not beefy enough, and the NumWorks has a keyboard that makes the endeavour really complicated.
