I don't believe Hp supplied a cable with the Hp39G (as it had IR, and they were CHEAP!!!!). Later they may have provided a cable, but the early released Hp39G had nothing but a book and batteries. The Hp 40G came with a cable.
It is unfortunate that Hp did not provide any cable with the Hp39G and more or less figured one geek would buy and then share with the rest of the class via IR. What really happened was a geek would buy an HP49G and pass on the Hp39G. Anyone dumb enough to buy a 39G was left in the cold for support as a geek would have a 49G and not share his cable (would you trust your only cable to an obvious unknowledgable user). And usually this same customer actually just bought a Ti anyway.
Just my ranting AGAIN.
Gee, why doesn't HP just listen to me? I could solve all of these problems. .. 8^)
