Good afternoon. It's my first time here and i want to connect my old (but gold) hp48g with my pc (windows 11). I just wanna ask if someone here has a pdf with the map to connect the calculator with the pc using usb... I tried to find on the internet but i failed. I found only HP48 to serial (DB9). Any has the way to connect to usb port? Thanks in advance. Any other trick to be aware after the cable is done? Please?

Not sure if you already have an HG48 <-> serial cable at hand, but if
this is the case, then using a serial <-> USB adapter is the simplest
way. Is use this model https://www.amazon.fr/gp/product/B0007T27H8/ and
it works fine.

Simplest solution is to do HP48 to serial and then a serial to usb
converter, of which there are many on Amazon or eBay.

Set the HP48 to 9600 baud, 8-bit, no parity and most serial<->USB
converters can cope with that out of the box.
