Updated HP-41 module list
Message #1 Posted by Matthias on 18 Oct 2004, 6:28 p.m.

Hi, itīs me again. About three weeks I published a new module list for HP-41 modules. After this I got many feedbacks from some of you. Thanks a lot, you are doing a great job for the community here by sending me informations and bugfixes. Now the real update is finished, so letīs call the other as a pre-release. You can download the new one here:

Hi Matthias!

I hope you don't mind if I found at least one little negligibleness. My MCode compilation version 1A displays "-MCODE 1A" in CAT 2, not "MF1A" as shown in your list. The later is the ID of the ROM reported by the Service Module's check function.

BTW, be warned to use the function "AA" of my ROM, IIRC I used it to migrate all HP41 ROMs using an HP-71B as printer. I did that by jumping behind the "correct printer in trace mode"-check of the ZENROM's disassembly routine. W/o the correct module in place "AA" will do nothing useful (MEMORY LOST is quite possible). So be warned or use an HP41-emulator with all appropriate safety measures.

But if you like to impress others, you may run "XX" to just display the "G" of the RAD/GRAD annunciator. <G>

Ciao.....Mike

I hope you don't mind me disturbing again: Your list shows only one "Skwid Ink BarCode" ROM, but there are two versions. Alas I have only one of them.

From your list I can't see which version you own. Mine has the "BC41" as ID (what is displayed with the service module, you know) and '206'x as checksum and 22 entries in the FAT. My information about the existence of the second version is just from the manual or an addendum of it, that you may exchange the module at EduCalc (IIRC). The second version was for an other printer and as such much faster.

Now, my question to all: who has more details? Who knows the copyright owner of the a. m. module? Who may help some collectors of HP41 ROMs? For me an image would be OK.

Ciao.....Mike

PS: You know how to make an image?

Hi Matthias,

I find your list as a handy instrument to keep track on ROM/images collection, so I use a hardcopy quite often.

If I can make a suggestion I'd like to have the header rows from the first page reproduced on every page. I think it will be useful as reference for the colums.

Keep up the good job.

Cheers

Diego.

I second Diego's request, and would also suggest that you reduce the size of your "logo" on the top. (real state matters!)

Best, AM
