I cannot get a large (98k) download to go past the 25th packet, using
Kermit, with both a HHP HP 128k ramcard AND a CMT 128 ramcard installed.
I tried b various measures, e including ressetting HP48, rebooting the
PC, etc etc. No help.  When the CMT card was pulled, asll  all was el
(sheesh - the terminal prog I am using has no correct p key for bakcspace
- please pardong my giberrish - I dO type & speck the language...)
Anyway, when the CMT card was pulled, all porce  downloading proceeded OK
and when the card was reinserted and remerged, all was STILL ok, what is
going on??  Are their there bbb buhgggs bugs bbgufs in these things???
Helps  help?

I have found that downloads to the HP-48 at 9600 baud will
frequently fail, usually early on, when the memory is
sufficiently full.  Downloading to an empty calculator usually
works fine, but after something like 30K I have to back up to
4800 baud before things will work reliably again.  I have a 128K
HP RAM card in port 1, merged.
