I recently purchased a HP 48GX, and its portable IR printer buddy (printing out pixelated graphs onto a paper roll is oddly satisfying), because I always wanted one when I was a kid. I had an HP 48G that I cracked open and soldered extra memory into some 25 years ago, but I was always jealous of the 48GX. So, when it became clear the COVID-19 pandemic wasn't going to be even remotely short-lived I decided to finally splurge on a 48GX to satiate my childhood dreams (aim high kids!) and to see if I could get it to act as a probe endpoint for my company's Modality analysis software.

I absolutely love the 48GX, and playing around with it has been fun as I'd hoped (including the esoteric land surveying software expansion card), but if SwissMicros made its own version I'd buy it in a heartbeat. A 40 Mhz Cortex-M4F under the hood of a homage to the 48GX would be awesome!
