Re: Transporting lif (lex) files from PC to hp71b Message #2 Posted by J-F Garnier on 12 Oct 2007, 6:40 a.m., in response to message #1 by C. Dehnke
I would suggest this way: copy "desal.l71" to "emu_in.dat" in current emu71's directory, then do "COPY :DOSLINK" in Emu71. You should now have the DESAL LEX in Emu71. Check if it works correctly.
Then, use the HPIL/RS232 interface and a correct cable to connect the interface to your PC and do the right interface setup (check cable and interface setup on emu71 site). Test it by doing: "INPUT :RS232;A$" on the HP-71B and "OUTPUT :SERIAL1;'ABC'" on Emu71 (in this order), and check A$.
If it works, try to transfer the LEX: "COPY :RS232" on HP71B side, and "COPY DESAL to :SERIAL1" on Emu71 side.
Emu71's serial support works well to download data from Emu71 to the HP-71, it may not always be reliable in the other way, although it usually works for small files. Let us know if you succeed to upload your ROM images.
