My two cents:
- Target: reproduce HP48gx
- use DM42 platform with different keyboard to match HP48g(x), let's call it DM48
- adapt Emu48 to run on DM48, but keeping the same memory structure (state file + Port 2 memory file up to 4mb)

This way it should be possible:
- to partially use an existing hardware
- to advantage of Emu48 capability to save/load state file
- to reuse existing emulated calculators

Cons:
- improvement of HP48gx platform (rom....) nearly impossible
- emulated calculator memory model stuck on the real one's
- license issue?
