Recently I asked a friend of mine that makes his living off
designing/building plastic models and prototypes if he could
make a connector for my HP48SX cheaply that would look as
good as a store bought connector. He assured me that it would
be no problem if I wanted more than just one or two. What it
comes down to is he'll have to make a couple molds at 10-20
bucks apiece and then the cable and the serial connector/hood.

If enough people out there want connectors though, the price
could obviously be very cheap. And having seen his work, I know
that he is capable of making something of very high quality.

If anyone is interested in buying such a cable, please email
me. I will ask my friend how much it will cost per cable and
get back to you. The more people that do this, the better. I
would like it if enough people responded so as to make the
cost about 3-5 dollars. That's a heck of alot better than $35,
and the cable I am using now just doesn't cut it.
