Hmm… but what is this?

Quote:2. For USB installation: just connect the cable and start the Connectivity Kit that came with the calculator. Once newRPL is installed for the first time, all future updates can also be made using newRPL Desktop.

3. Enter the Boot/Self Test Mode: Power the calculator OFF, press and hold the plus(+) and minus(-) keys simultaneously, insert a paper clip into the reset hole on the back of the calculator, remove the paper clip and then release the plus/minus keys after a few seconds. The screen will have two options when in this mode: 1.UPDATE CODE, and 2.SELFTEST (the Boot version and the serial number appear at the bottom of the screen).

4. Enter mode 1.UPDATE CODE.

5. Choose 2.CARD if using an SD card, or 1.USB if using the Connectivity Kit (and start the transfer from the Connectivity Kit).

I used a Windows XP virtual machine to run the ancient HP39gs Connectivity Kit.
