This is not exactly fair. When I purchased the Serial Interface kit, there was a big white sticker on the box that said you could run your hp48 from your PC. While in a sense this is true (as you can do file transfers with all typing done at the PC.) the box made it seem like you could do more. I can understand John being somewhat upset by this.
