You can use the HP-41 calculators and write your own conversions or some
of the optional ROMs contain number conversions. I THINK the Advantage ROM
contained some, the HP-IL Developement ROM contains some, I believe the
Extended IO ROM contained some. It's too bad no one put a good collection
of them in one ROM. The 16C is still the best programmers calculator that
HP ever made and probably the best anyone ever made.

Anyone
know what's the newest model of HP Programmer's Calculator?
One with number system conversion and stuff like that?
Well, the HP48 and HP49 (and their descendants) have binary/octal/hex
numbers, boolean (bitwise) functions, shifts, rotates, etc. But the true
HP 'Programmers Calculator' is still the 16C.... Pity it's so hard to
find
