Hi Matti,



the structure of the HP48 serial numbers can be found in the FAQ for this device (Section 2.20).



As I interpret this, your machine was manufactured in Indonedia in the 44th week of the year 1991.



Best regards

Frido

For sure, it shoul be 2001 instead of 1991.



1) The HP48GX was introduced first 1993

2) The kind of serial number for your machine was introduced 1997.



All to read in the HP48-FAQ.

Hello,

48GX started production in 1993 in Singapore not Indonesia, and black units appeared during year 2000 so your calc was made in 2001 week 44.
