Re: i41CX+ 2.0 Released. Message #7 Posted by PeterP on 13 May 2009, 4:49 p.m., in response to message #5 by Seth Morabito
...that's exactly what I suggested to Al. He drove the idea further and said 'Why not wireless?'. Personally I think that would make it more complicated from a software perspective and require more complicated hardware (e.g. wireless module).
But this is exactly my dream - to seamlessly move software from i41cx+ to/from my other real HP41Cs, RamDrives and emu41. The true engineers among us could even hook up the i41CX to HP-IL enabled devices on their play-, sorry,'work'bench... While it currently is already super easy to save programs from the i41cx for later retrieval onto the i41CX, communication of modules and programs between a real 41/emu/RamDrive and the i41 is possible, but a bit more cumbersome. For development of programs and especially MCODE I like the PC or a real 41 much better than the i41cx, but once it is developed I want it on my i41CX, which I always have with me (iPhone). It would be great to be able to transfer things quickly and seamlessly from one environment to the other, either via RamDrive/IL-Drive or emu41.
In any case, Al is doing a superb job with this application and I don't regret the money I spent on it (even though now most apps are <5$). He provides top notch support and constantly updates the app
So I have good hopes that he will hear our HP-IL plea...
Cheers
Peter
