[comp.sys.handhelds] Smith Corona 32K RAM cards for the HP48SX?

woan@nowhere (Ronald S Woan) (04/04/91)

After reading about it last week in this newsgroup, I rushed down to
my local Bizmart and got one and it seems to work fine; however,
someone mailed me a bunch of postings to this group from early last
month from someone at HP saying that these cards may cause calculator
damage when the system battery runs low (due to voltage clamp down or
something)... Is this true? Has this actually happened to someone?

Just want to know how much risk I am taking... Hmm... I guess I'll get
one of those CMT 128K after EduCALC adjusts their price later this
month, anyway...

Thanks for all the tips from readers of this group, by the way...
