Hmm, very interesting indeed. I wonder what that was.

I spotted what looked like an odd rubber-cased HP41 on
a stall at a
car
boot sale. The guy also runs a small army surplus shop so
although I
didn't get it there I might ask him about it if I go in during the
week.
It had four openings at the back about the size of a matchbox end-
on,
with brown flexiprint circuit stuff folded over plastic tabs in the
middle of each one.
This description matches the expansion slots on a standard HP-41.
What's with the rubber case, I wonder? Some sort of protective cover
like the ones available for most mobile phones?
