Substitute Magnetic Cards for HP-97?
Message #1 Posted by Paul Brogger on 31 Mar 2003, 11:27 a.m.

I'm assuming magnetic cards for the HP-67/97 are getting hard to find. I've got only two.

Has anyone tried to cobble together a workable substitute? Say, by sticking a piece of magnetic tape to a strip of to a piece of a playing card? Cutting up subway tickets? Other?

      
No need

It's not worth the bother, even if possible, as they are still around.

      
Here's one source

If you haven't already been notified, here is one place that you can get HP magnetic cards. I believe the seller is a frequent poster here, so he might contact you directly.

E-bay auction for 160 cards...started with a "buy-it-now" price of $20.

Thanks!

I'm not looking for eighty, but it's nice to know they're still available.
