I am an avid user of HP calculators, I have 3 HP-11Cs, 1 HP-32, 1 HP-28C (Rev 1BB) and an HP-48SX (Rev C) and have a few questions and comments.

1) Where can I get ASC-> and ->ASC (I cannot find a working copy)
2) Under which rubber foot is the reset button?
3) I found a neat 'thingy' with the ON-D. I know it works on the REV C and D calculators. Type ON-D  <- (backarow) ENTER 9 (the top row will shift over a bit) type 9 again (screen gets dimmer) type 9 again (screen will turn all black and slowly (depends on battery life) the screen will "disolve." Once you are in this "mode" it is sorta hard to get out (you must hit ON-C several times). I would like to know if this is bad for my 48SX?
4) What does ON-D MATH do? (you get some stuff on the screen and a continual beeping).
