I just bought my HP48SX a week ago and now there is a lot of peripherals 
and reference books that I am eyeing.  Below are some questions that I 
have not seen answered on the c.s.h.

Is the Programmer's Reference Manual (By HP) available ?  If so, does
anyone have comments about it.  

Also, the comments about the HP41CV emulator card in the EDUCALC catalog
confused me.  Does it translate input via IF directly to HP48SX language ?
Does that mean that you cannot input HP41CV programs from the keyboard ?
Any comments on this product ?

Has anyone used the new EE Applications and Reference Cards from Sparcom ?
I noticed the Educalc catalog stated that they are designed for undergraduate
use.  Are they just academic "toys" or are they really useful tools ?

When I received my HP48SX a week ago, it came with the zipper case.  Does
anyone know where I could get a velcro flip top style case for it.  I think
I would like that better.  Is there a consensus on this or do others like
the zipper style ?

Anyone have any comments on the printer ?

Please post to c.s.h. or reply via e-mail.
