HP50G and RS232

Is it a flag setting in conjunction with the OPENIO command or is there a new command just for the RS232 port? I have seen in the newsgroup that an adap... 5 Sep 2006 16:56

SD memory card sizes
I did a search for SD memory sizes that the HP50g works with; found a topic string back in June of this year referring to the 49G+ and 512MB was a big deal then; prices seem to be decreasing ... so is a 1GB or even 2GB outrageous? Will they work? Has the bootup speed issue been resolved as one post thought 500ms wa... 5 Sep 2006 23:49

New HP 50G Owner
Hi all. I've been an HP owner since the 32S. My last HP was the HP 48GX that I bought in 1993 for $287. I just bought the HP50G from Buy.com. They had the best price I could find - $117 with free shipping. Also, if you applied for and used their buy.com credit card to buy the calculator they took another $3... 27 Sep 2006 13:35
