I too prefer the HP-16C, but the CM-100 is a nice design. I have a photo
of one
up on my Casio calculator page, http://www.decodesystems.com/casiocalcs.html

A very similar discussion of hex-capable calculators occurred recently on
Slashdot, along with a link to my page. As is to be expected, ClassicCmpers
covered the same ground much more quickly. :-)

The CM-100 functions very well in surprisingly low light. However, when I
need to
do hex conversions (which I did for a while in developing code for a
Motorola OnCore
GPS chipset), I prefer the HP-16C.
