It is nice to be able to use the Backup and Restore functions of the connectivity kit to have a clone of my physical calculator.

EDIT: I missed the part where said you weren't using Emu48, so the first screenshot I attached is irrelevant. I don't typically use the official HP-50g emulator, but I verified that using the null-modem emulator will allow you to connect to the HP Connectivity Kit. Once installed, you will be able to select a COM port from the Virtual USB Port dropdown down menu.

Hi Nate,

The virtual COM ports are indeed recognized (COM7 & COM8 on my machine), but the connectivity kit doesn’t connect to the calculator. I may not be configuring the COM ports correctly.

Sorry I missed this. I have to manually choose what COM port to use from the drop-down menu in Conn4X. The Automatic setting doesn't work for me. In your case it would be COM7.

On the EMU48 side, under File -> Settings make sure the COM port is selected under Serial Ports -> Wire. Here you should be able to select COM8 from the drop-down.

After that, I use the right shift/ right arrow shortcut to execute the XSERV command and then connect Conn4x.
