HP65 Card Reader testing
Message #1 Posted by John Robinson on 15 Nov 2000, 2:07 a.m.

How do I test the "write protection" functionality of the card reader ?. I clipped a card, and the write didn't work (as you would hope), but there was no indication from the calc about that, i.e. no flashing display or anything. The manual doesn't detail what is suppose to happen either. Thanks, John

Right! The 65 doesn't have any error indication when trying to write to a protected card, it just doesn't do it. The 67/97 shows "Error" on the display when you try this.
