From: wblalok on 22 Apr 2008 06:02
Once upon a time I had several downloaded (using a modem dialed to a
BBS) programs for the 48 in the electronics field.

I am gifting my unused 48G (keeping my oft-used 48GX) to a family
member in need, and he needs those same apps as well as things I have
not heard of like 'atlas'.

Does anyone know where I can look, or what magic words I can put into
google to get results, I have currently looked through ~10 pages of
each word combination, "+" and phrase I can think of and not having
any joy.

I also manually searched hpcalc.org where I found a scant few of the
programs I had.

Thanks for any and all assistance y'all can come up with.



Aimless rambling:

I do have the programs on floppy but that has proven not the best
backup in the world 10+ years later, read errors are my worst
nightmare.

Closer to 20 years if you count the long dead 48S, and getting my new
whizbang machine to attempt to read a 5.25" was an experience of its
own :P I think my machine may have had a stroke, I know Windows XP
did.

He looked at me like I had three heads when I showed him what I
started out with... slide rules LOL, I wonder the batteries in a slide
rule ever run out?

I notice mine still works, as does that of my late father. The display
is in perfect working order, and no keys have failed. Let's hear it
for K & E!

How many registers? Where's the CAS model?

If you post a list of the programs you need, somebody here can
probably help. Also, Google Groups is good for searching - go to
comp.sys.hp48 and use the search function as usual. You might at least
find someone who knows the locations.

And yes, going from a slide rule to an HP45 was like being propelled
into a science-fiction movie. :-)
