[comp.sys.handhelds] HP48SX RS-232 Port & ROM Ver

ee52fal@sdcc3.ucsd.edu (Rob) (10/13/90)

Would someone out there in netland be able to tell me what the
pinouts on the end of the HP 48 are, as well as what type of
connector is available (if any) that will fit.  I'd like to be able
to connect it to my PC without buying the cable from HP...

Also, how does one determine the ROM version?  Any help would be
appreciated!  Reply via e-mail or the net (if you think there's enough
interest...)

ROM version:

     (Calculator is turned on already...)
     ON-D
     <-  (the backspace key with DROP/CLR above it)
     EVAL
     ON-C  (this returns to stack [which is cleared BTW])

Serial port:

     (Looking at calculator top, from left to right)
     1) Shield, 2) Transmit, 3) Receive, 4) Signal ground

Hope this helps...
