Now that's some marvelous tech. I wonder how the control over nixies is done. Back in the day they used 74141 chips, but they're long gone now, and I don't know of any equivalents.

  Are you sure? yes | no

Hi, I use microchip high voltage level shifter - HV5622PG-G for the nixie tube driving stage.

  Are you sure? yes | no

This is great. Now go make me an ARM-based HP-15C in a similar format. ;-)
