Multiple points here...

2) For the story, we ended up getting the 48/38 source code from an ex HP employee that had departed HP 4 or 5 years prior (for a competitor in addition!) and who had had the good idea to keep a personal copy of the code!

Something tells me that you are speaking of Diana Byrne, who left HP in the late 1990s and ended up working (remotely from Corvallis) for TI at that time (and even attended the 1998 HP Calc Conference in Vancouver, Washington as a TI employee).
