I HAVE A CHIP FOR A HP41 MARKED "SURVEYING I" WHICH I DO NOT KNOW IF IT WORKS AND CAN PLUG INTO MY 41CX, BUT I DO NOT KNOW THE START UP CODE. DO YOU KNOW HOW TO TEST IT OUT?

The first thing to do is plug it in and perform a "cat 2" This operation checks through all of the programs and routines in currently plugged in modules. If you see a series of names on the display there is a pretty good chance your survey module will work. The names that appear are the names of the programs on the module. I hope this helps, Randy

There's nothing you can do... it's probably totally out of working order... the best thing you can do is to send it to me..

Just kidding of course...

Just test it with <shift> CAT 2, you should see a number of 'XXXXX labels running.

You should also need the manual (available on CD through this site), I guess it's quite difficult to use without it..

Good luck !

it works. they never break. we still use this rom every day. i use vert, trav/inv and horiz regularly and just used pit for the third time in 17 years(outside a test) two days ago. if you get the manual on daves disk and still have specific questions; e-mail me and i'll walk you through them.
