First, the 48S has no ports for RAM/ROM card expansion. It still has IR and RS232 interfaces, so communication is still possible. Second, the lack of ports has allowed the product to have a significantly lower price than the SX. The SX lists at $350 while the S lists at $250 (and are available from Solve and Integrate for $276.50 and $197.50, respectively). The purpose of the S is to make the functionality of the 48 family available to more people, and especially to compete more effectively in the educational ``graphic-calc'' market. John W.
