The final version of HP-42X is available
Message #1 Posted by HrastProgrammer on 6 Sept 2002, 7:46 a.m.

Details on how to get it are on my homepage http://hrastprogrammer.tripod.com...

There are few variations of HP-42X according to the various calculator configurations and different user needs. These are:

HP42X48: The FINAL version for HP-48GX with a 128K RAM card in Slot1 and >=128K RAM card in Slot2. Uses one RAM card for the HP-42/Emulator ROM and another for the HP-42/Emulator RAM.

HP42X48D: The DEMO version for HP-48GX with only one >=128K RAM card in either Slot1 or Slot2. Uses RAM card for the HP-42/Emulator ROM and main calculator RAM for the HP-42/Emulator RAM. Destroys some parts of main calculator RAM!

HP42X48L: The FINAL version for HP-48GX with only one >=128K RAM card in either Slot1 or Slot2. Uses RAM card for the HP-42/Emulator ROM and Port0 for the HP-42/Emulator RAM.

HP42X48S: The FINAL version for HP-48SX with a 128K RAM card in Port1 and another 128K RAM card in Port2. Uses one RAM card for the HP-42/Emulator ROM and another for the HP-42/Emulator RAM.

HP42X49: The FINAL version for HP-49G with both banks of Port1 empty. Uses one bank for the HP-42/Emulator ROM and another for the HP-42/Emulator RAM (uses the whole Port1).

HP42X49D: The DEMO version for HP-49G with only one bank of Port1 empty. Uses this bank for the HP-42/Emulator ROM and and main calculator RAM for the HP-42/Emulator RAM. Destroys some parts of main calculator RAM!

HP42X49L: The FINAL version for HP-49G with only one bank of Port1 empty. Uses this bank for the HP-42/Emulator ROM and Port0 for the HP-42/Emulator RAM. This version is especially suitable for use with HP-41X because it allows you to have both HP-41X and HP-42X installed together (into Port1).

I am planning one maintenance release of HP-42X for october. It will contain fixes for all bugs which will (eventually) be discovered as well as the following commands:

SAVE for exporting the HP-42 program to HP-48/49, LOAD for importing the HP-42 program from HP-48/49, SAVEP for saving the HP-42 program to port memory, LOADP for loading the HP-42 program from port memory, PURGE for deleting the HP-42 program from port memory and CATP for displaying all programs contained in the port memory.

Registered users will get the maintenance release for free when it will be released.

Best regards.

You've got some HTML bugs in there you may want to look at. It's very difficult to get past your splash page. At least with ns6, mozilla, and konqueror web browsers.

Cheers- C

It is easy. Just replace \ (backslash) with / (slash), bexore index in the web site address.

Congratulations for the nice job done, HrastProgrammer.

We shall have a cup of coffee when I come to Zagreb (I expect that I will have to, soon). Another question: When we shall establish HP Calculator Users/Fans Club-Croatia?

Well, I have thought about the club. We shall discuss that when you come to Zagreb.

Yes- except that it works best when removing the intire string segment "\Index.HTML"

As I said "difficult". Meaning, in relative terms "more difficult than expected when selecting a link."
