I bought the HP #82208A serial interface kit for my HP-48, thinking 
that it would contain something useful other than a cable.  Well, 
since I had KERMIT already, I was pretty dissapointed.  Now HP is 
offering to upgrade to the "Program Development Link" for $30.  I have 
some questions for anyone who has upgraded:

1) Does the upgrade include the HP 48 Programmers Reference Manual in 
paper form ?

2) Is the software useful, or is it another expensive copy of a PD 
program?

3) Is there now any better development interface available PD?

I'd appreciate any info on this upgrade you have... Thanks in advance.
