Drive-95 is (was?) made by Sparcom and was originally made for the HP-95 then for the HP-200 and later for the HP-48. I won one at a HP conference a couple of years ago and Megan (the owner of Sparcom) promised me that I could send it back to the company and have it upgraded to later version. I've been meaning to do that. AFIK Drive-95 is still being made and sold.
