Re: OT: Forth on Sharp PC-1500 question Message #10 Posted by Bill (Smithville, NJ) on 30 May 2007, 8:14 p.m., in response to message #9 by Klaus
Hi Klaus,
If I understand you, the datalogger is a device that probally plugs into an expansion port and it has the Forth language in it. I'm wondering if it actually copies the entire Forth to the CE-161 or if it just sets up the data structure on the CE-161 and then makes calls to the rom of the datalogger.
One way to find out would be to initialize the forth from the datalogger, then remove the datalogger and see if the forth still works without the datalogger being attached.
From reading the CE-161 manual, it can be set up several diferent ways, depending upon the switch setting and some poke commands.
I'm not not sure if the module can be peeked by a basic program. I'll have to get my module out and play around with it this weekend.
Please do the test of removing the datalogger and seeing if the forth still works. If it doesn't then making a copy of the forth could be difficult.
If you want to take this off-line, you can reply through yo my hpmuseum e-mail link.
Thanks,
Bill
