Can anyone provide details of this upgrade?.  I am one of the many people
who purchased the serial kit thinking that I would be able to "use the
keyboard and monitor of the PC to access the power of the HP48SX" (Or
however the advertisements read).  I really feel that I was mislead by
the ads and I would like to know if things can be "put to rights".

Thanks for any help!!
