Please look at p. 168 (of 244) of the manual - there's nothing more than a standard micro USB cable required - neither 'a serial cable with two buttons (Reset and Erase)' nor 'that 6-pin POGO connector' is needed here.

Sorry Walter, my bad English expressions can be misunderstood

Nice try. That may explain the cable but not 'that 6-pin POGO connector' printed even bold.

Quote:My understanding is that the Harald USB adapter is a partial replacement for the serial cable, because it does the flashing operation but it misses the Erase button. This is valid for the initial flashing, when converting from HP-30B to a WP-34S.
Am I correct?

Sim.

It worked at first try, using rudimentary procedures

Parabems! Por favor, check the usage of 'at last' versus 'at first try' for logical consistency

Thus we say a tiny small obrigado.

Quote:Now, where is that User Guide...?

Oh, we were just waiting for you to finish flashing ...
