HP-IL, 41CX, and 71B Message #1 Posted by Robert Graulich on 7 Feb 2006, 8:18 a.m. Hi, just received an HP-IL module for my HP-41CX and want to test it. Up to now, I don't know much about HP-IL. I connected both machines, entered CONTROL OFF on 71. Switched the 41 on and tried DIR. The result was NO DRIVE. Well, that was to be expected, right? Does the IL-module of the 71 have a mode to use that machine as a drive to store programs or data from the 41? What is an easy way to demonstrate that both IL-modules work? Robert

The manual of the HP-71B HP-IL module may have some info on how to receive data from an HP-41. For data storage, I'd use a real HP-IL mass media device. Regards Raymond

As I understand the other article, I need the extended I/O module and special software to use the HP-71B as a drive. So I will wait now for the registered version of Emu71. Robert

Nothing built in. There might be a user-written program, but I haven't seen one.
