ROM's for Clonix and NoVRAM
Message #1 Posted by Jeff D on 26 Jan 2005, 10:06 p.m.

I have recently purchased one of each of these modules and would like to ask the following. I have the Zenrom, David Assembler, MFRM labels, RAMBOX, 512 words on the Clonix. I was wondering what others might put onto the NoVRAM to complement a complete MCODE package. Please let me know your thoughts. Thanks, Jeff D

Hi,

my NoVRAM has the following config:
HEPAX, ExtIO, Ext-IL, CCD OS/X (of course;-),
David Assembler, Mainframe Labels ROM .

The HEPAX has the advantage that it uses only one
physical address page, and only one XROM number.

The David assembler, along with the Labels ROM,
simply has the best user interface for walking through ROM,
and writing mcode directly on the machine.

But the most important ROM (for me) is the CCD OS/X for obvious reasons;-)

It has functionality which I use everytime I use the HP-41,
like the extended CAT, and more.

Raymond,

I'm unfamiliar with the Mainframe Labels ROM. What is it?

Hello Lawrence,

the Labels ROM is an extension to the David Assembler,
which makes the mainframe entry points visible and callable
by name instead of addresses only
?NCXQ 07EF
will be shown as
?NCXQ MESSL

?NCXQ 0952
then displays as
?NCXQ ENCP00

and so on.

The combination of David Assembler and
the Mainframe Labels ROM is simply
unbeatable if you really want to program
in mcode on the HP-41 itself.

For cross-development on a PC,
I'd strongly suggest SDK41.

Raymond
