Haha. Actually, I have several ancient DOS pc's that I connect via RS232 to my HP-48SX to backup/edit/develop programs. The only thing I've ever used the IR for is printing. Since the IR on the 50g is incompatible with the 48, I bought a serial port cable for my 50g to connect to the 48 cable, so I could transfer my 48 programs to my 50g.

And why would you need ancient DOS pc's? The massively used and often mentioned here FTDI serial to USB adapter works perfectly with any pc of today.
Today I'm getting my HP200LX out of the drawer too :-)
