49g+ Overlays Soon Availible Message #1 Posted by Tim on 9 May 2005, 1:02 a.m. Since this seems to be a time of good anouncements, I thought I would give one of my own. Within a short time we will be selling overlays for the 49g+ series. I would like to get people's opinions on a fair price to charge for these as overpricing is bad for everyone. You can view these overlays at http://www.pssllc.com/overlay.php . The site has a few issues still as our web guy was interrupted as he was working on it last time, so there are some silly errors. Please bear with us. Anyway, post a response back here to give your thoughts, or send me a message at my usual email: timwessman @ ( yahoo gmail or hotmail - they will all make it to me =) Just a thought, we could get one completley printed on a sticky plastic peice with the current key layout of the 49g+ calculator, a nice GREY background with clearer shift colors. This would effectively make the 49g+ keyboard into a more muted color scheme for those that desire it. TW

Re: 49g+ Overlays Soon Availible Message #2 Posted by Vieira, Luiz C. (Brazil) on 9 May 2005, 1:22 a.m., in response to message #1 by Tim Hi, Tim; the clean faceplate looks pretty neat in the HP49G+ (is the other one an HP48GII+?). For me, it enhances the HP49G+' look. Congrats. Luiz (Brazil)

Re: 49g+ Overlays Soon Availible Message #4 Posted by Giancarlo on 9 May 2005, 12:33 p.m., in response to message #1 by Tim First of all, I do not own a 49G+ (yet...), so my post could resolve in complete rubbish. Reading all the opinions on the bad performances of the 49G+ keyboard, and the need one has to push all the way down the keys to get a proper contact, don't you think that an overlay will decrease the level of the response to keypress? Cheers. Giancarlo

Re: 49g+ Overlays Soon Availible Message #5 Posted by Erik Ehrling (Sweden) on 11 May 2005, 7:49 a.m., in response to message #1 by Tim Some time ago there was a discussion about making overlays for Hrastprogrammer's emulators (e.g. HP-42X) - this should now be possible at least for the HP-49G+... Anyone knows if the will make overlays also for the good old HP48SX/GX? Regards, Erik Ehrling (Sweden)

Re: 49g+ Overlays Soon Availible Message #6 Posted by Raymond Del Tondo on 11 May 2005, 8:01 a.m., in response to message #5 by Erik Ehrling (Sweden) Hi Erik, there also exists an HP-48 overlay kit (HP 82220A), consisting of some transparent and some non-transparent sheets, and one transparent with special alpha chars. Each sheet has some small 'noses' on the left and right side, which will hold the overlay in place. Regards Raymond

Re: 49g+ Overlays Soon Availible Message #7 Posted by Antoine M. Couëtte on 11 May 2005, 12:10 p.m., in response to message #6 by Raymond Del Tondo So, where can we source them for HP48GX? Any address ? Antoine
