I figured that you could hook up a Amiga -> HP with a simple serial cable. But from what i understand the PC/Mac packages have "editors" and other programs to make transfering Stuff back and forth easier. ie. I here the 48sx uses a "Odd" ascii set, so a normal editor might mess stuff up, and a normal editorcan't acess the special characters, Like Alpha,Beta,intergral, ect....... I Don't Have a 48sx YET. (My 28s Does fine) but if i could get a way to hook up My amiga-HP48sx I'd get one in a Flash! (Well Quickly) (AGGGGHHH My Neighbor (A BIO major) just got a HP48sx!, And what does he do.. Puts it back in the box, He Don't have TIME to read the Manual!!!!.) -- yorkw@ecn.purdue.edu Willis F York ---------------------------------------------- Macintosh...
