FREE Logisim - Construct your digital logic circuit on screen - analyze and test.
Amazing! considering it is free. Requires JAVA 5 or higher to run.

Windows 10 installer version:-

HP9830A desktop calculator (computer).


Now you can have the HP 9830A emulator for windows 10, complete with sound too (fan, cassette tape drive clunks, print head, error pings).

This requires JAVA 5. The software may not run on all PC/Laptop setups. Seems to be a bit fussy about graphics chips the software detects.

Note:- On my Windows 10 PC, I had to edit the startup code in file HP9830A.cmd:-

java -Dsun.java2d.d3d=false -jar GO9800.jar HP9830A

 

edit (as below) and save.

 

java -Dsun.java2d.d3d=true -jar GO9800.jar HP9830A

 

https://github.com/go9800/GO9800

Goto 'get code' and select zip file.

Unzip to your choice of directory.

Execute by C:/user/GO9800/HP9800A.cmd (or where ever you unzipped files to).

You will also need the user manual. Plenty to see on this site.
