Given that they aren&#8217;t made anymore, many people use emulators instead. There are a number of emulators available and most are quite good.<\/p>\n<p>I make two of the emulators. One is a functional equivalent and the other is a microcode emulator. The second one is my favorite because it is a closer match to the real thing; but both are available on this site (see below).<\/p>\n<p>You can run either of my HP-67 emulators for free in any web browser on any computer and, if you &#8220;install it&#8221;, you can even run it when you&#8217;re not connected to the internet.<\/p>\n<p>You can also buy a copy of either emulator for a nominal sum if you&#8217;re interested in seeing what&#8217;s inside it and how it works, or if you just like to make sure you always have it. See the links for details.<\/p>\n<h2>Using the HP-67 Calculator<\/h2>\n<p>There are programs available at <a href=\"http:\/\/www.sydneysmith.com\/wordpress\/category\/hp67-programs\/\">HP-67 programs<\/a> and <a href=\"http:\/\/www.sydneysmith.com\/products\/hp67-cards\/\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">products\/hp67-cards<\/a>. Any programs that are copyright Hewlett-Packard from 40 years ago are only provided for the convenience of people who purchased a copy of them at the time. If you no longer have the manuals explaining how to use the programs, I believe they are included in the hpmuseum.org CD. <\/p>\n<p>Articles I&#8217;ve written on the calculator can be found at <a href=\"http:\/\/www.sydneysmith.com\/wordpress\/category\/hp67\/\">HP-67 articles<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>There is a help page for the calculator (and emulators) at <a href=\"http:\/\/www.sydneysmith.com\/wordpress\/hp67-help\/\">HP-67 Help<\/a><\/p>\n<h2>Under the cover<\/h2>\n<p>Each program step is stored in a single byte in the calculator memory.
