To test the new RPL, I had to flash the firmware. Since the newRPL does not seem able to communicate with a PC yet - but for the ones that wants to juggle with the SD card should be fine, - I decided to go back to the 2.15 firmware since I wanted to do some computations.
Then I noticed this in the 2.15 upgrade.pdf (the pdf file that comes with the zip holding the 2.15 firmware, downloaded from hpcalc.org)
Now my 50g is not empty, but the numbers do not add up.
Memory plus size of the libraries and data:
344183 bytes, not 766000 (or similar values).
Why is it so? (update: the "memory" part always refer to the home, not to the current selected port. So my computation is misleading)
I tried to search on google (string "site:hpmuseum.org flash size 50g" ) but I got only confirmations or unrelated threads.

update1: the SD filer library is missing, and it was installed before.
update2: maybe it is exactly the "port2 issues" mentioned in the upgrade procedure? I give it a try with the 2 MB ROM fix.
update3: ok, my bad, it was exactly the port 2 issue. with the 2 mb rom fix it worked again.
