HP85B & HP87 emulator Message #1 Posted by Olivier De Smet on 27 Feb 2006, 3:11 p.m. Hi, Finally I managed to emulate enough of an HP85B to make a new release of my emulator. On the following website, you'll find a binary archive for windows and an archive with the sources also for windows. Link to Website You are free to play with the source, just try to send back major changes. Olivier

Re: HP85B & HP87 emulator Message #3 Posted by Olivier De Smet on 1 Mar 2006, 7:56 a.m., in response to message #2 by J-F Garnier Bonjour Jean-François, Strange, I just try to transfert the archives and it works ... For the 75D or C I have some roms but the I/O of the 75 is very different from the I/O of the 80 series... So without some documentations, it will take some times (trial and errors ...) As I add some comments, I give now the sources Olivier

If not it does not respond to input till you actually mount a volume.

Re: HP85B & HP87 emulator Message #5 Posted by Olivier De Smet on 2 Mar 2006, 2:06 a.m., in response to message #4 by Vassilis Prevelakis I don't managed to reproduce this behaviour. Did you try to press 'reset' ? Olivier

Re: HP85B & HP87 emulator Message #6 Posted by Vassilis Prevelakis on 2 Mar 2006, 4:09 a.m., in response to message #5 by Olivier De Smet yes I tried pressing reset the OS is Windows-2000 basic configuration. It is my standard windows test environment as it does not have any other application installed (except updates to IE etc). It runs under VMWARE with the host tools installed. It has a non-persistent disk which means that you can install software, test it and when you shut the virtual machine down, it will ofrget everything and revert to the original state. So you cannot damage your starting configuration. **vp
