Re: Copyright issues (was HP42s ROMs) Message #3 Posted by Erik Ehrling on 30 Oct 2000, 9:13 a.m., in response to message #2 by Dave Hicks
I apologise, it was not my intention to post an illegal request. However, my main question remains unanswered. I see a lack in emulation software in that there are full-fledged emulators for both the HP41, HP48 and HP49, but not any decent emulator for the HP42s. As a first step to understanding of the internal workings of the HP42s I would like to try to disassemble the ROM and therefore I would like to have a copy of it on my PC. If I am left with no other option I could always use the built-in monitor to browse it and type it in by hand, line by line, but I would prefer using the IR-port to transfer it either to a HP48GX or directly to an IRdA port.
I saw some postings about someone trying to disassemble the ROM and therefore assumed that someone had succeeded in transfering it.
I certainly understand if HP wants to retain the copyright for the HP42s. My personal hope is that they would put in full-scale production again. ("Do not change a winning concept")
Regards,
Erik
