I've noticed two little differences between my old A revision 48SX
and the E revison HP sent to replace the old one.
A bug in revision A left the state of "lowercase lock" indeterminate.
That is, the user didn't know what the state was until he hit a key.
(Assuming, of course, he had locked lowercase at least once in the past.)
With revision E, the state of lowercase lock is preserved only for the
duration of the current editting session. Once you've hit ENTER or ON
to end the edit, you are back to upper case.
The other thing I've noticed is that CLLCD no longer clears the menu
line (or maybe 7 FREEZE no longer protects the menu area?)
It did on my A ROM machine but doesn't with my E. This means that
CLLCD 3 FREEZE is indistinguishable from CLLCD 7 FREEZE
with my E ROMs. Maybe I'm overlooking an obscure flag somewhere?

Cuse me for sounding stupid, but how do you tell what revision you have?
IS it the letter in the middle of the SN?
IF it is, then mine is a A. What are the problems with it, and what do i
need to do?
