HP-41: Release: ICEBOX.ROM version 1E: News for NoV Users :-) Message #1 Posted by Geir Isene on 16 June 2009, 8:20 a.m. From the UC-41 page: "In version 1E, swtching between HEPAX RAM blocks in the NoV-32 or the NoV-64 became really easy. I added the functions N100, N101, N102 and N103 to switch directly to the desired ram block. " The updated 10 page user manual will give you the insides. WROM is still there for generic write-to-hepax-ram. But now you don't need any FOCAL program to code/decode address/word for switching ram pages on the NoV-32 and NoV-64. You can very easily switch the ram blocks - even inside a program. Someone wants to write a 64K chess program for the HP-41? Edited: 17 June 2009, 11:08 a.m.

I'll try with the MLDL2K, should also work, right? I'll eventually complete the blank entries in your ICEBOX documentation, but time is at a real premium right now so don't hold your breath :-) Best, ÁM Edited: 22 June 2009, 8:20 a.m.

Re: HP-41: Release: ICEBOX.ROM version 1E: News for NoV Users :-) Message #4 Posted by Meindert Kuipers on 22 June 2009, 9:59 a.m., in response to message #3 by Ángel Martin Angel, Please be aware that the MLDL2000 does support HEPAX in a very special configuration, because the native HEPAX commands for switching and moving the banks are not supported. I do not know how ICEBOX does the switching, so be careful, it might not work the same as NoVRAM, and let us know your results, Meindert

Re: HP-41: Release: ICEBOX.ROM version 1E: News for NoV Users :-) Message #5 Posted by Ángel Martin on 23 June 2009, 2:14 a.m., in response to message #4 by Meindert Kuipers No worries Meindert, I´m aware of the idiosyncrasies of the ML2k - what a fine piece of artwork you produced my friend, I´m enjoying mine now after I finally got the knack of it. If I only had the time I might even look into adapting Geir´s method to the ML2k, but it´ll have to wait for greener pastures... Best, ÁM Edited: 23 June 2009, 2:15 a.m.
