Update for 49g+ o/s?
Message #1 Posted by Eric on 20 Feb 2005, 3:02 a.m.

I've been using my old 48g lately, and I just gave the 49g+ a re-try (I had been avoiding it due to my worries about missed key entries) ..and I just realized how FAST it is.

Can one *turn off* the energy saving mode that it goes into when a few minutes of non-use pass by? Perhaps a flag? Or a routine that could run in the background keeping it awake?

Any trick/flag to increase the keyboard sampling rate? (to be able to rapidly enter the same digits, ie: 2.333, or 4440?

Thanks for any insights, Eric

PS. the keys themselves appear and feel pretty good.

ClockSpeed Adjustment Tools - Overclock your 49G+ 2.00
http://www.hpcalc.org/details.php?id=6081
STARTOFF is run every time calc powers OFF
<< OFF C34 >> STOred in STARTOFF (at HOME directory)

You could assign STARTOFF to the OFF key
'STARTOFF' 101.3 ASN
'STARTOFF' 101.31 ASN
'STARTOFF' 101.6 ASN
'STARTOFF' 101.61 ASN
So that if you like power it OFF by your self it will still do it "right"

Consider having C124S on program start and C34 at end

Ok, I'm looking at that clockspeed adjustment. Thanks for the tip, VPN.

For the keyboard issue, I guess there simply is no way to increase the rate of entry?

And, can I also assume that the 48gII keyboard is the same?

Just checked the hp website for o/s upgrade, and there is not at this moment.
