You may try a mail order firm called EduCALC: their address is 27953 Cabot Road, Laguna Niguel, CA 92677 1-800-677-7001. I am not affiliated in any ay to EduCALC, but I'm always been satisfied with their service. They stock almost everything for HP calculators. >2) I heard that improper use of syseval can result in serious system >malfunction.

I can't say anything positive about that, but in my opinion the worst that you could possibly do with a syseval is to lose the calculator memory... I don't see how you could possibly damage the hardware! >3) What are the bugs hidden in the ROM of a HP-28S? I do not wish to >be too surprised when they strike in the middle of a calculation. I leave this to other netters... I own a 48sx-A and I have enough of the bugs in it :)...
