Incidentally, folks, I have recently heard from a veeeery reliable source
that HP may say something about the CMT cards voiding the warranty on
your 48!  This seems to have to do with the physical tolerances of the
card itself, rather than any electronic condition.  I recently borrowed
one of these cards from Educalc, and I found it to fit quite snugly in
either of the port sockets.  The hullaballoo seems to be that this
snugness (caused by the card being thicker than HP standard) may bend the
contacts in the port connectors, eventually causing them to lose contact
with the real world, as it were.  Anyway, what it boils down to is the
same old caveat emptor stuff.  Personally, I really prefer the quality of
the 'true' HP cards ( I have 5 of them between two 48s ).
