Hello HP71b friends out there, does somebody know the correct syntax and description of the ROMCOPY lex including all options? Thanks

Hi Christian,

I don't know the exact syntax but another LEX file might help.

LISTLEX

This LEX file will list all the command names in the LEX file you specify.

If one of the commands it lists is ROMCOPY I would think it would need the address range you want to copy and were to store it. File name, device etc.

Maybe something like.

ROMCOPY ("1000,A000,ROMIMAGE")

ROMCOPY ("1000,A000,ROMIMAGE:TAPE")

Just a guess.

HTH

Christopher

I grabed the romcopy file and this is the syntax I seem to have come to.

With my ROM in port 1

>ROMCOPY :PORT(1) TO :TAPE

>ROMCOPY :PORT(1) TO :1

I haven't tried it with my tape drive but did with Tony Duell's lifutils the 82164A and the in71 program. I used the second command. It starts to transfer, then I get this.

Reading : ROMIMAGE E21C 16384/16384 bytes

After a bit I now have a 16384 byte file on my drive. When I look at the file I see HP copyrights and 41 commands. I transfered the only rom I have the 41 Translator rom. Seems to work.

HTH...Good luck.

Christopher
