Courtesy of Eric Rechlin of hpcalc.org, now you can watch a fat ugly guy who says "um" far too often, at HHC 2025 talking about and demonstrating the forthcoming Nonpareil II microcode-level simulation of various HP RPN calculators (currently HP-15C and HP-16C):

The audience really liked that the graphics is fully scalable, rather than only having integer multiple scaling of a bitmap, in the original Nonpareil.

HHC 2025: Scalable Reptoids from the Outer Reaches (Nonpareil II Updates) (Eric Smith)

At HHC 2025, I learned of the existence of another HP-95C in private hands, which makes four that I know of.

The HP-95C was a desktop scientific programmable printing calculator, with continuous (CMOS) memory but no card reader. It would have been introduced in 1976, positioned between the HP-91 desktop non-programmable printing scientific, and the HP-97 desktop programmable printing scientific with magnetic card reader.

I just gave an HHC 2025 presentation and demonstration of Nonpareil II, my work--in-progress microcode-level HP calculator simulator, now written in C++20 using the Qt6 toolkit. Compared to the original, it uses vector graphics for smooth scaling over a wide range of window sizes.
