I was wondering if any of you out there knew any details (like price,
availability, descriptions, etc.) about any of the following HP48sx
accessories:

*  PROM cards -- What size (memory-wise)?  How programmed?  Is a programmer
to be available?

*  Keyboard Overlay -- Does it completely cover the keys?  Does it just fit
between the keys?  Is it opaque?  Where/when can I get one?

*  Ruggedization -- Is there any third party company working on an
industrialized case for the 48sx?  By "ruggedized", I mean any of the
following:  water-resistant, waterproof, heated, lighted, or shock-protected.

Thanks much in advance.

P.S. All this is for a consultee who is interested in using the 48sx as a
handheld data gatherer for a company that has a currently uninventoried
collection of over 100,000 dies (as in tool&die).  If anyone is interested
in further details, write me...
