Gauging interest in a DM48 or DM50?

RE: Gauging interest in a DM48 or DM50?
I thought the 48 ROMs were officially legally fine to use.

If so, I think a hardware clone of a 48GX would sell well, even if we had to flash the ROM upon arrival. I have no idea who all SwissMicro sells to, but if this forum represents the bulk of their market, then clearly, we are all fine with flashing this or that.

I have bought 5 or 6 SwissMicro calcs over the year, I have 3 (I think) and I gave 3 as gifts. They have proven they can deliver a quality product that is worth buying. In some ways (the titanium cases) they outdid HP. I'd like double shot keys on any future model though.

Until now they haven't given me a chance to buy a clone of my favorites (48GX, 50g). If the time comes, I would spend the money. But, it has to be 100% compatible. The I/O on the 48 and 50 is already good enough for me. I'd like a physical card slot like on a real 50g, since the internal memory is sufficient for me and a card only requires power when used.

I would not be interested in a new oddball variant based HP calcs. I think HP really nailed the UI as no other calculator company has done. For me that's part of why I prefer their calcluators over anything else that I have used.

It ain't OVER 'till it's 2 PICK
