I don't know if I mentioned it before, but I didn't have any problem putting
in my Smith Corona 32K card in my HP48sx.  Part #S75531, and costs about $32
Cdn. Beats the !#$% out of the similar HP ram card that retails here for about
$100.  Still is the best calc around though.

Look up Smith Corona in the yellow pages under typewriter repairs.
Ask to try one out first before buying.

I have pulled my cards out several times now and the calc & cards still keep
on ticking.
