HP30b cable I can borrow? Message #1 Posted by eri on 5 Nov 2013, 8:39 p.m. No response to original post so editing post into a broader request. Anyone willing to loan their HP30b programming cable to an internet stranger? Happy to pay postage, etc. I'd also be willing to mail you my 4 calculators if you want to do the flashing. Thanks! Original Post Title: hp30b cable in seattle area? Hi All, I've 4 hp30b that I wish to reprogram as wp34s. Is there someone in the Seattle area that can lend me a cable? Thanks!

Awesome Rieslings and mead. Speck! I was also excited to read that in some places in Germany you can now purchase a beer that isn't an under-hopped lager: Good-Beer-In-Berlin-Finally But yes, it would be crazy for me to solicit a cable from Europa. Really a shame if this project dries out because of cable availability. All those poor 30b that are pining for conversion!

Message #5 Posted by Walter B on 9 Nov 2013, 6:41 p.m., in response to message #4 by eri Thanks for your kind words about my home country :-) Quote: Really a shame if this project dries out because of cable availability. All those poor 30b that are pining for conversion! Pssst - I'll tell you a secret: those cables may be used more than once ;-) And there are even (at least two) sites where you can order a WP 34S. Please see the manual. Regarding good beers: I'm not an expert in this topic but I know there are really many breweries here and many kinds of beer - like in Czech Republic. So I'm convinced you could get good cool beers in almost every little town here at any time for centuries - it's different at other places on this planet. Others may confirm that with better personal expertise. d:-) Edited to correct the time scale. Edited: 10 Nov 2013, 2:32 a.m.

Re: HP30b cable I can borrow? Message #6 Posted by Paul Berger (Canada) on 9 Nov 2013, 8:35 p.m., in response to message #1 by eri Have you found a cable or someone to flash your calculators yet? If not I can send you my cable and you may keep it. I will flash my second 30B before sending it, for some reason I have not done that yet, Lord know what use a financial calculator is. My first one has been fitted with Harald's USB cards so I will not need it for that one and If I was really stuck I am pretty sure I could construct a reasonable facsimile of one of these cables.

Re: HP30b cable I can borrow? Message #7 Posted by eri on 10 Nov 2013, 5:58 p.m., in response to message #6 by Paul Berger (Canada) Yes please! How about we declare this cable belongs to the community: I'll mail it on for whoever needs it next, along with their email so the community can find them. Paul: I've sent you an email with my mailing address.
