No HP calculator ever had a vacuum fluorescent
display. And no HP
calculator eeer used nixie tubes.
No, but a few TI desktop models did, including one that did
hexadecimal math that we used. Personally, I'd love to find one of
those in working condition--I could use it today, to supplement my HP
16C, but I suspect they're rarer than hens' teeth.
Cheers,
