Hi all -
Has anyone upgraded the ROM on a 50G under Linux? I maintain a Windows-free computing environment at my house, and as I am looking forward to tackling a multivariable calculus course in the fall, I'm using the 50G a lot more. I'd like to know if there is a way to do this.
At worst, I guess I could try running the Win connectivity software under Wine, but I'd prefer a native solution.
Thanks,
Glenn
Glen,
I've found VirtualBox to be a great solution for running Windows XP software under Linux. I've used QEMU and Wine extensively, and believe VirtualBox to be the better of them - especially with TI calculator software.

Just download the HP-50g ROM update file to an SD card ...
IMHO, Windows or non-Windows, the SD card update is preferable.

Christoph Giesselink's emulators (http://hp.giesselink.com/emu48.htm) work well with WINE. So if x49gp is too much hassle, then emu48 (the debug4x build) works great with WINE.
Many thanks to all who replied -- I look forward to exploring some of these options. %^D
