That sounds like the original version with the

I think the display is the same between the 2 versions. I am also
pretty sure the same display is used in all the old Voyagers (there
are annunciators on it that are not used on some models, but they
are still there on the display of that model). AFAIK the difference
between the models is the firmware.
Please forgive the delayed response--for some reason, the CCTalk server
belched up a bunch of messages dating from 30 November onward today.
I've read a bit on the HPMuseum forums that indicate that early displays
aren't interchangeable with later ones--the later ones apparently use a
finer-pitch connector.
My own HP 16C has a serial number beginning with 2228A..., which I
believe puts its date of manufacture in 1982, so my fingers are crossed
to see if the "old" HP12C that I picked up on eBay is even close in
terms of display connections.
