Hello.

I am currently wondering about buying the new touted 48SX (Super Xpensive).  I also got a 28S about 1 and 1/4 years ago.  I wonder, therefore, whether HP will (in a couple of nonths to a year) introduce something better and greater.  Then, it would be a pity to do a rash decision and byy it now.  In addition, how often do new versions come out, and how much better do they get over time?

Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

Being a chemistry major, the chem application pak has lot of appeal for me! If anyone tried it, please answer!

Any and all info will be most welcome!

>coual anyone give me any Idea how much the serial interface kit is
>also the price of a Ram card and an Equation card?
the serial interface kit, complete w/ cable and s/ware is about $50,
$30 w/o software(which can be found on the HP board for free).
the 32k Ram card is $70 from Educalc, 128k is $194 from Educalc,
and the HP eq. card is $85 or so.  Somebody if I'm wrong on the figures,
but they are right to within + or - $5.
