The same data block can be found in the ROM entry points of the HP-48SX:

Code:

2B2DC %% HP:%%12
2B300 %% HP:%%60
2B31F %% %%-495.920119017593
2B343 %% %%30.3479606073615
2B36C %% %%-76.5594818140208
2B390 %% %%9.33584905660377
2B3B9 %% %%-1.21142857142857
2B3DD %% HP:%%.4
2B410 %% %%0.918938533204673

What makes me puzzling is why these values are stored in the HP 35S in ASCII format and not as binary or BCD numbers...
