< the cards containing the personalities are ROM and not battery backed up >> that makes a lot of sense :-)

<< you must dismantle one of these calculators (or a mass memory module, a 70004A... ) to get the mechanical reader frame >> I wasn't thinking of reading the card directly, rather download the card to the mass memory module, then remove the mass memory module from the analyser complete with image and then access the image via JI - the interface from the module to the analyser. At a brief glance this looks feasible hardware wise and uses a (slightly) more common interface than the card. This bypasses the SA firmware which is where I would assume the copy protection resides.

It all seems a bit academic though IF the ROM cards can be downloaded to the module and then upoaded to RAM cards, but this may not be possible (I don't know either way) - see Dan's post (#151445) below.
