hp48sx -> hp48gx compatibility Message #1 Posted by juergen Rodenkirchen (GER) on 12 Mar 2003, 2:21 p.m. Hi all! Because there are nice features on the Solve Equation Library card for the HP48sx that are not available on the HP48g (e.g. the Periodic Table of Elements, I think), I wondered if it's possible to run this card in an HP48gx. Just thought that it would be good to ask the experts in here before probably damaging the card or the machine ;-) Thanks for your time, Juergen

Re: hp48sx -> hp48gx compatibility Message #2 Posted by Frank on 12 Mar 2003, 2:25 p.m., in response to message #1 by juergen Rodenkirchen (GER) All cards labeled specifically for the 48sx I have tried (which has been about 6) all worked flawlessly on the 48gx.

Re: hp48sx -> hp48gx compatibility Message #3 Posted by Vieira, Luiz C. (Brazil) on 12 Mar 2003, 2:30 p.m., in response to message #1 by juergen Rodenkirchen (GER) Hi; there are many system-level operations that are not compatible in both models, mostly the ones related to new G-featurs and new objects defined only in the G-series. I remember that libraries created for the S-series 48 MAY crash (not dammage) if loaded in a G-series 48. About the periodic table, does it need the card to run? Have you thought about copying and sending it from the SX to the GX by the IR link? I'm sorry I do not know the card's contents, but loading a "file" in an HP48G through the IR link will not dammage it. Hope this helps. Vieira, Luiz C. - Brazil

There's a free version of PTLIB for the GX Message #4 Posted by Raymond Del Tondo on 13 Mar 2003, 5:44 a.m., in response to message #3 by Vieira, Luiz C. (Brazil) Hi, as subject indicates, HP has released a version of their Periodic Table Library for usage with the HP-48G(X). It's available at www.hpcalc.org . BTW: Some years ago, I wrote a 1:1 replacement for PTLIB, which is *much* faster, and of course, much smaller. Also on www.hpcalc.org ;-) Regards, Raymond

Re: hp48sx -> hp48gx compatibility Message #6 Posted by Juergen Rodenkirchen (GER) on 13 Mar 2003, 1:32 p.m., in response to message #3 by Vieira, Luiz C. (Brazil) Good point, Luiz, thanks! I'll try ... Juergen

Further info Message #7 Posted by Vieira, Luiz C. (Brazil) on 12 Mar 2003, 2:39 p.m., in response to message #1 by juergen Rodenkirchen (GER) Hi; have a look at the HP48G Series User Guide, pages 29-20 and 29-21, under Using HP48S/SX programs with the HP48G/GX, mostly the topics dealing with cards and libraries. Cheers. Luzi C. Vieira - Brazil

Re: hp48sx -> hp48gx compatibility Message #8 Posted by R Lion on 12 Mar 2003, 2:47 p.m., in response to message #1 by juergen Rodenkirchen (GER) If you want a good Periodic Table, this is the best: http://www.hpcalc.org/hp48/science/chemistry/chemlb27.zip I can send you a version where the Cl "solid" has been changed to "gas". Raul

I'm interested... Message #9 Posted by Vieira, Luiz C. (Brazil) on 12 Mar 2003, 2:57 p.m., in response to message #8 by R Lion Hola, Raul; como estás? Can you send me this "corrected" version? My e-mail address is: lcvieira@quantica.com.br (there are so many spams and roax's comming to my e-address I'm about to change it...) Do you know if it installs in the 49G too? Best regards. Luiz C. Vieira - Brazil

Sure, I'm interested! Message #10 Posted by Juergen Rodenkirchen (GER) on 13 Mar 2003, 1:52 p.m., in response to message #8 by R Lion Hi Raul! Sure, I'm interested in that version of the Periodic table! I'd be happy if you would send me a copy ... you can use the e-mail address above. Juergen

Re: Sure, I'm interested! Message #11 Posted by R Lion on 13 Mar 2003, 3:20 p.m., in response to message #10 by Juergen Rodenkirchen (GER) I'll send you. Don't forget to check the Raymond's table too: http://www.hpcalc.org/hp48/science/chemistry/pt.zip Raul

Re: hp48sx -> hp48gx compatibility Message #12 Posted by Masao Kinoshita on 12 Mar 2003, 9:41 p.m., in response to message #1 by juergen Rodenkirchen (GER) Just stating the obvious - Sparcom's General Chemistry Application Pac (ROM card) for the HP 48GX has the Periodic Table of the Elements (and a whole lot more chemistry stuff, e.g., dilution equations galore, which you can mix and match to get your answer).

Re: hp48sx -> hp48gx compatibility Message #13 Posted by Masao Kinoshita on 12 Mar 2003, 10:35 p.m., in response to message #12 by Masao Kinoshita Oops - I forgot to mention that Sparcom's General Chemistry Application Pac was originally available as an HP 48SX ROM card; so make sure you get the 48GX version or you will be back to where you started. I used to have a 48SX with the Chemistry ROM card (and the great 41CV Emulator ROM card), but don't have them now. The problem is that my 48GX Chemistry ROM card doesn't have "GX" written anywhere on the card. IIRC, the 48GX cards have an extra contact.

Re: hp48sx -> hp48gx compatibility Message #14 Posted by Chan Tran on 13 Mar 2003, 10:09 a.m., in response to message #13 by Masao Kinoshita I know that the 41CV emulator card won't work on a GX. I have tried and it caused the GX to lose memory. Not permanently damaged the GX though.

Thank you all !!! Message #15 Posted by Juergen Rodenkirchen (GER) on 13 Mar 2003, 1:39 p.m., in response to message #1 by juergen Rodenkirchen (GER) Thank you all so much for the lots of interesting and really useful information on my request! Best Wishes, Juergen
