[comp.sys.hp] HP 48SX

tenorsax@athena.mit.edu (Christian Kurz) (11/01/90)

I don't know if this is the right newsgroup to post this question to, but it
was the only one I found that related to HP. So here is my humble question:

  Does anybody know a good way to get to a pool of HP 48SX software using
FTP or a modem?

Please let me know if you do.
				THANX, Tenorsax.

For a wealth of info on the HP 48SX and many other pocket wonders, check out
the newsgroup "comp.sys.handhelds".  Several posters refer to archives for
the HP 48SX.  I believe the most complete one is actually at HP in Corvallis.

Here is an informative posting to comp.sys.handhelds:

I hope this helps!
