RE: HP 50g & SD Cards: Performance, Format, Notes
I have interesting evening probing the 50g and using my toys.

Here is the connections between testpoints between R66, R67 and R68. Since this forum doesn't allow tables to be used in BBCode I post it as CSV to open in spreadsheet program. The measurement should be valid and my unit is working properly.

R67 is connected directly to ground and I did measure it as 17k resistor, but incircuit with normal ohms range so it might not be accurate. The continuity should be accurate, since that old measuring device is using only 25mV test voltage, so it doesn't turn silicon nor germanium devices to conducting state.

There is also really interesting text in that PCB seen also in your video at 17:50..

Hope this get you further.
