Connectivity / Development Tools for HP48 on Win7/8 PC?

[DavidM]

I've been using Debug4x for a while now on my Win7 laptop without any problems. Most of what I do is SysRPL and Saturn for 48sx/48g/48gx/49g+/50g, but I occasionally do UserRPL as well.

I use a regular serial port/cable for communicating with the 48 variants, so I can't comment about the FTDI cable. The standard USB cable works fine for me using the 49g+/50g.

As Bob points out, you are best off using the XMODEM server that the HP ConnKit can install for you on the 48g or 48gx. It's much faster than using a Kermit connection, and works seamlessly with HP's Connectivity Kit. For communicating with my 48sx, I use HPComm 2.4. There's a newer version of that app, but I could never get the installer to work properly so I've simply stuck with the older one when linking with the 48sx.
