Columns II will work only on the HP48G/GX machine.
It will not crash your HP48S/SX, however.  The library will attach
correctly, then if you try to run the game on your S/SX, you will see
the message "HP48gx uniquement !!"

Also, it doesn't seem to run from port 2 in a GX.  I had 50+ Kb free
RAM, yet I get the message "Insufficient Memory" when run from port 2.
Running it from port 1 (with the same amount of RAM free) gives no
error.

Just when you thought COLUMNS I was good... 
This game is entirely in gray-scale, not just the intro.  Very nicely done!

This is a translation of the information first shown when you run
COLUMNS II:

ON: Exit
+ and - Contrast...
All other keys to play.
YX and SPARTACUS present:  COLUMNS II
The first game written especially for the HP48GX.
During the game, the keys are:

2: Right
8: Left
4: drop faster
5: Rotate
6: Go to next level
DROP : Quit
EEX : Turn off the HP

The principle of play is still the same:
If at least 3 pieces of the same type are aligned in a line,
a column, or diagonal, the program will eliminate them.

You lose when there is no possible way to make new pieces fall.
You go up a level every 1000 points.

Have fun!!
