(HP71B) Speed experience with Video (EMU71 and Video80 screen)

[Sylvain Cote]

System setup:

• MacBook Pro 2019 Core i9 running macOS Ventura 13.6.1
• CrossOver 23.6 (a wrap up version of Wine 8.0.1 for macOS)
• Windows 7 Pro 32-bit CrossOver bottle environment for HP stuff
  

Test setup #1

• Emu71 v1.17 [running in CrossOver]
• ILVideo80 v1.3 [running in CrossOver]
• ILPer v2.4 [running in CrossOver]
  • video.dat loaded as HP9114B
    
  
  
  Code:
  

  Device      IP-address   TCP-in-port   TCP-out-port
Emu71       localhost       60000         60001
ILVideo80   localhost       60001         60002
ILPer       localhost       60002         60000

Test setup #2

• Emu71 v1.17 [running in CrossOver]
• ILVideo80 v1.3 [running in CrossOver]
• pyILPER v1.8.7 (Python 3.9.18 & Qt 5.15.2) [running on macOS]
  • video.dat loaded as HP9114B
    
  
  
  Code:
  

  Device      IP-address   TCP-in-port   TCP-out-port
Emu71       localhost       60000         60001
ILVideo80   localhost       60001         60002
pyILPer     localhost       60002         60000

In both setup, I was able to copy the video2 program from tape to HP-71B memory and successfully execute the program.

note: pyILPer does not implement the video interface, so ILVideo80 is mandatory in this example.
