List of HP 48SX & 48GX cards
Is there a list being maintained that contains all known HP 48SX and 48GX RAM and ROM cards?

I've seen lists of library IDs from libraries that have been copied from various ROM cards, but not the cards themselves. There are a lot of cards for sale on eBay, especially surveying and construction.

Some examples:
  • HP "128KB RAM" Card part# 82215A
  • HP "HP Solve Equation" Library part# 82211A
  • HP "48SX Demonstration" part# 00048-80024
  • Sparcom "Mathematics Pac" (no part#)

RE: List of HP 48SX & 48GX cards
The following is not a comprehensive list, but it's longer than your list. :-)

Also note the above list excludes newer RAM cards sold on EBAY.

If there is a comprehensive list, I too would love to see that.

You can find some information about the Sparcom cards here and here.

RE: List of HP 48SX & 48GX cards
Another related question at this point would be, how many of the optional cards for the 48GX became a part of the basic feature set of the 50g?

RE: List of HP 48SX & 48GX cards
Cool. Thanks for the info.

This prompted me to dig up some old paper EduCALC catalogs that were buried. Combining those with the lists below and with eBay, here is the exhaustive list I was able to put together. This list isn't perfect and there are likely mistakes, but I have included everything I could find. Some of the names came from EduCALC so I am not 100% sure that the name is correct. In other words, some items might have actually sold under another name elsewhere in the list. Please comment on any mistakes or improvements.

RAM Cards:
  • Hewlett-Packard (HP) ~ "32KB RAM" ~ part# 82214A
  • Hewlett-Packard (HP) ~ "128KB RAM" ~ part# 82215A
  • Hewlett-Packard (HP) ~ "1MB RAM" ~ part# 82216A
  • CMT ~ "128K SRAM" ~
  • Epson ~ 128KB RAM ~
  • GRID ~ 1MB ~ 39003-00
  • KLOTZ Electronic ~ 4MB RAM ~ ~ Modern implementation
  • Miketech ~ 128KB RAM ~ ~ Modern implementation by Michael Kemper
  • Nikon ~ 128KB ~ Data Card ~ Appears to be re-branded CMT 48 128KB card
  • Norand Data Systems ~ 128KB RAM ~ 850-488-000
  • Norand Data Systems ~ 256KB RAM ~ 850-488-001
  • RAMSS ~ 512KB RAM
  • slvr00gt ~ 1MB RAM ~ ~ Sold by slvr00gt on eBay, modern implementation
  • slvr00gt ~ 2MB RAM ~ ~ Sold by slvr00gt on eBay, modern implementation
  • slvr00gt ~ 4MB RAM ~ ~ Sold by slvr00gt on eBay, modern implementation
  • slvr00gt ~ 128KB FRAM ~ ~ No battery required, sold by slvr00gt on eBay, modern implementation
  • slvr00gt ~ 512KB FRAM ~ ~ No battery required, sold by slvr00gt on eBay, modern implementation
  • Smith Corona ~ 32KB RAM ~
  • Sparcom ~ Pocket Professional 512KB RAM ~ ~ Assuming Sparcom since "Pocket Professional" trademarked
  • Surveyors Module Inc (SMI) ~ 256KB ~ ~ Looks like HP casing with SMI stickers on it.
  • Surveyors Module Inc (SMI) ~ 512KB ~

  • Tripod Data Systems (TDS) ~ 512KB ~
  • Tripod Data Systems (TDS) ~ 1MB ~ ~ Has label variants with and without battery and switch instructions
Note1: unless noted, it is expected that 128KB and lower is SX/GX compatible while 256KB and higher is GX-only.
Note2: I am not sure whether slvr00gt is a manufacturer or just a seller.

RE: List of HP 48SX & 48GX cards
Thank you for the detailed post, Chris.

I have heard that some of the old GX card content was incorporated into the 50g, but I would be curious to know if that was in whole (some entire cards) or in part (only some equations from select cards).

Unfortunately, I don't know the 50g family, but there should be someone one this forum who can answer your question. The only card incorporation I know is that the HP Solve Equation Library card, except for the periodic table, was added to the 48GX when upgrading from the 48SX (which doesn't answer the 50g question).

RE: List of HP 48SX & 48GX cards
Thanks for the link. One card I found doesn't quite fit the list. It's part number is 48SC but the title is "Standard COGO Enhanced". My guess is that the code was update in the ROM card to be the enhanced version but to save money, they just ink stamped "Enhanced" on a 48SC label.

RE: List of HP 48SX & 48GX cards
FYI, I have been continually adding new cards to the list above over the past few months.

Some of the new ones are:
Chotkeh ~ Electrical Engineering Review ~ PE EE
Chotkeh ~ Land Surveying Review Software
D'Zign ~ Australian Surveying Pac
Smith Corona ~ 32KB RAM
Vectorsoft - EQation Xpert

The Smith Corona 32KB RAM card and the D'Zign Australia Surveying Pac card struct me as the most curious.

RE: List of HP 48SX & 48GX cards
I want to add two ROM cards which do not seem to be in the list so far:
- The W&W Assembler/Disassembler Module (WW48ASS)
- The W&W Surveying Module (WW48VM01)

If someone is interested in somewhat more info about these cards, please let me know:-)

Both cards were produced in relatively small quantities, and mainly for the German market. Actually the cards were EPSON 128K EPROM cards, which were burned using a Sprint Plus full size ISA programming card.

Back then W&W also carried a CMT EEPROM card for the HP 48, along with a suitable programming device. The device was connected to an HP 48SX, the management library was downloaded to the HP 48, the EEPROM card was put into a slot in the device, and then you could program the card right from the HP 48.
The card case was similar to that of the early CMT 48 128K SRAM cards. (See http://files.mpoli.fi/unpacked/software/...mcards.doc)

Thanks. I will add these to the list after I return from being out of town. In the meantime, I would be interested in seeing any photos of these cards. These sound interesting.

RE: List of HP 48SX & 48GX cards
I just received an HP-48GX with a strange card in it. It appears to be used to collect and store results from survey and opinion questionnaires. When the software is running, the keyboard is mapped to something unusable. I think the GX was inserted and locked into an enclosure on a kiosk that limited what keys the user had access to.

The card's "ABOUT.OM" command brings up:

OPINIONMETER
rev. 3.7r9

Copyright 1994-2001
Opinionmeter, Inc.

Interestingly, Opinionmeter, Inc. is still in business. They even mention using the HP48 in their past products: http://opinionmeter.com/company/about-us/

I've contacted them to see if they have any old documentation.

Here are some pics of the W&W Surveying card and the manual.

[Image: wwvm01_1.jpg]
The first name appearing, Peter Kiefer, may be known to people who were members of the CCD club back then,
since at some time he was chairman of the club, before hiring at W&W. Programming was done by me:-)

[Image: wwvm01_3.jpg]
[Image: wwvm01_4.jpg]

The graphics of the several measurement methods were scanned from a surveying book, then imported into the HP 48, and then optimized for display by hand.
That was much work.
From many locations during program run, you could call for "online" help, and either got a graphic related to the measurement method wanted, or the associated parameter list.




I don't have the W&W Assembler ROM card here right now, but I'll look for the manual.
Actually the card looks similar to the WWVM01, since it's an EPSON EPROM card, too. However the Assembler ROM manual is different. It's an A4 size folder.

And there was another nice HP 48 project in the area of print preprocessing: EasyMatch. AFAIK only two or three ROM cards of the EasyMatch software were produced.
I have to check if I still have one of these.

Hello,
I just received a bringslid calculus 1 hp48 card and surprisingly the language of the card is in french.
I wasn't aware of this.

Any other language available?
