Re: HEPAX and CCD - Conflict of Interest? Message #3 Posted by Raymond Del Tondo on 19 Apr 2005, 3:31 p.m., in response to message #1 by Peter
Hi Peter,
does the HEPAX disappear completely,
I mean not only from CAT 2,
but regarding it's functionality?
You know that the HEPAX moves itself
to the lowest possible bank,
which often will be bank 6
if the HP-IL module isn't plugged.
Then you'll find the CAT entry *only*
with a CAT 2, not with a CCD CAT'n (n>7)
From my experience, the HEPAX and CCD modules
don't interfere, so there shouldn't be a problem
from the software side.
However, I have to admit that I only used the NoVRAM
emulation of the HEPAX, not the real one.
And in most cases I use the CCD OS/X
instead of the full CCD module;-)
You could also try another approach:
Using the HEPAX (or a NoVRAM) along with the CCD OS/X.
The CCD OS/X includes all system extensions of the CCD module,
except for the extended CAT'4.
This feature will be added in the bank switched version.
Another complication could happen if you plug
in the HEPAX without the CCD module in place,
and then have the HEPAX assign IDs to it's
RAM pages.
There's still a chance that these new IDs
interfere with ones from another plug-in module,
like the CCD.
And of course the general tip:
The one who laughs in the end - has a backup;-)
Regards
Raymond
