Re: HP-49G+ update Problems, HELP! Message #4 Posted by r. d. bärtschiger. on 24 Sept 2003, 6:40 p.m., in response to message #1 by r. d. bärtschiger.
I think I solved this problem, however I need to do some more detective work before I can be sure. At any rate the new ROM is now installed. In case anyone may be interested, I will relate what I did. When I bought my HP-49G in 1999 one of the first things I noticed was that the date was now given with the month spelled out instead of a number, i.e. SEP instead of 09. Although this was an improvement, in my opinion the fact that the month was in all capitals was a mistake and not very professional. So I used a disk editor to change the names of all the months to capitalized lower case, i.e. JAN to Jan etc. After making this change I downloaded the ROM image to the calculator. Although a crc error was returned, this didn't seem to have any real affect. After downloading the new ROM for the 49G+, I did the same thing, and this may be the reason why the installation failed, for as soon as I used the original image the updating of the ROM procedded correctly.
