EMU71 HPIL error Message #1 Posted by Sean Connor on 6 June 2008, 5:56 a.m. All, I'm trying to use EMU71 and I think I have is mostly sorted. My 'ini' file looks like this ; emu71.ini initialisation file of emu71 ; 10 softwired modules max., plus 1 hardwired module at E0000 ; port(1-5) type(ROM,RAM,HRD) size(Ko) file ; [modules] 1 ROM 16 hpilrom.bin 2 ROM 32 mathrom.bin 5 RAM 32 iram1.bin [devices] HDRIVE1 mydisk.bin HDRIVE2 lexfl1.lif However when I try to use either HDRIVE1 or HDRIVE2 I get the error: HPIL ERR:No Loop What have I missed or misunderstood ? Many Thanks Sean Edited: 6 June 2008, 5:59 a.m.

Re: EMU71 HPIL error Message #3 Posted by J-F Garnier on 6 June 2008, 2:36 p.m., in response to message #1 by Sean Connor The error "HPIL ERR:No Loop" happens when trying to access a non existing loop (the HP-71B can manage up to 3 loops, for instance "CAT :MASSMEM:2"). Early versions of Emu71 didn't manage any loop at all even if the HPIL ROM is loaded, and this error was returned for any HPIL function. My advices: - check the Emu71 version or date, maybe are you using a very old one, - check the command syntax, for instance "CAT :HDRIVE2", not "CAT :HDRIVE:2", - reset Emu71 by deleting the file sys71.dat (-> "Memory lost").
