Greetings to all:
 
  With all the activity revolving around the Smith-Corona 32K RAM card
  and CMT 128K RAM card subject, I thought I'd share my experiences to
  date. I've been running the CMT 128K card in my 48SX since January
  '91 with no problems. Incidently, my HP-71B is still running fine
  with the CMT memory modules I purchased long ago (1984!). Anyway,
  I just got back from the local office supply store where I purchased
  the SC card (#75531) for about 30 bucks. The thing worked right out
  of the box! No screen fade, no battery low indicator, no nothing!
  I installed it in port 2 for a couple of reasons: 1) the CMT card
  is in port 1 and 2) it is easier to install/remove the SC card from
  port 2. 
 
  The salesgirl asked my what model Smith Corona the card was for.
  I whipped out the HP and she looked at me like I was from Mars.
  
  I'll keep you folks posted on my SC-CMT coexistence story. Looks
   (Looks..that is) good so far.
 
Cheers!
