Gosh...I haven't done this in years. The one thing you do need from
the HP kit is the strange serial cable that plugs into the
calculator. The HP48, at least, supported both xmodem and Kermit
transfers, so I'd try installing the (non-free) ckermit package and
trying to use that to move files around. The last time I tried it was
many years ago on a Slackware machine on the other side of the
country, so... :-)
