X-Memory and HP-IL Message #1 Posted by gileno on 4 Oct 2005, 2:39 p.m. How do I record the information of the x-memory using hp-il? Thanks

Re: X-Memory and HP-IL Message #2 Posted by Vassilis Prevelakis on 4 Oct 2005, 3:10 p.m., in response to message #1 by gileno Read section "Transferring Data between Extended Memory and Mass Storage Devices", page 33 of the Extended Functions/Memory Module manual (file 41extfnc.pdf on the MoHPC DVD-ROM). **vp Edited: 4 Oct 2005, 3:11 p.m.

One may only directly transfer ascii and program files, but not data. For data files you have to write a program to put the data file through the stack into main memory and then into mass storage. This was a major omision on the part of hp imho, because i wanted to store data files. I forget if the "store all" function got around that - because using TDS; one could store a full 298 register data file. TDS wrote several functions into their roms, that being one that (again imho) hp should have included.

For storing X-Memory contents to a HP-IL mass storage device you can use the EXT-IL module (not the EXT-I/O module). This advanced module gives you powerfully commands for controlling big mass storage devices, transfering complete X-Memory, and printing multi column program plots.

EXT-IL ???? Message #5 Posted by gileno on 5 Oct 2005, 7:38 a.m., in response to message #4 by Christoph Klug Which is full name of that module?

Re: EXT-IL from Skwid Ink Message #6 Posted by Christoph Klug on 5 Oct 2005, 7:58 a.m., in response to message #5 by gileno The full name is Extended IL Module, created from SKWID INK. Furthermore from SKWID INK exist a module for plotting HP41 barcodes. Virtual ROM images of both module exist for using with EMU41. With best regards from Germany - Christoph Klug

Re: EXT-IL ???? Message #7 Posted by Juergen (CH) on 5 Oct 2005, 8:15 a.m., in response to message #5 by gileno Skwid Ink Extended IL ROM (CAT 2 output: EXT IL ROM). Very rare, I think...

Re: EXT-IL ???? Message #8 Posted by Gene Wright on 5 Oct 2005, 9:05 a.m., in response to message #7 by Juergen (CH) Not rare at all if you have a Clonix module. Put these into the Clonix today and put another pair in it next week. One of the best things I ever bought for my 41 machine!

Re: EXT-IL ???? Message #9 Posted by Miki Mihajlovic on 6 Oct 2005, 11:31 p.m., in response to message #8 by Gene Wright Couldn't agree more. Kudos to our friend Diego from whom we haven't heard in a while.
