Re: How to back up all of HP48SX - Dave Message #3 Posted by Joe Panico on 27 Sept 1999, 5:25 p.m., in response to message #1 by Tal Tal, I consulted the HP48G Advanced User's Reference Manual. Archive to a port using the port number (SX:0,1,2) (GX: 0 to 33) as follows: :n: name n = number of port - from above ENTER to stack ARCHIVE If you archive to a PC, specify IO instead of a number: :IO: name IO directs to serial port ENTER to stack ARCHIVE BUT - make sure system flag -33 is clear, directing IO to the serial port. Since you need to get it all back - RESTORE. This is less automatic. To restore: name SEND command on PC, using name of archive file RECV on HP48 wait for transfer, then, 'name' RCL tick object name and recall RESTORE I hope this is correct and solves your problem. If not, double check your IOPAR setting is the HOME directory, making sure these setting match your PC. Joe PS: With all your HP48 postings at this site, do you have a hobby???? (just kidding)
