Has somebody the assembler sources of the 71B KEYBOARD LEX file which is part of the FORTH/Assembler ROM or available as separate LEX file.
TIA,
Christoph

Note that the KEYBOARD LEX file in the FORTH/Assembler ROM is Rev B, however the HPILLINK DOS link utility installs a Rev C version of this LEX file when you initially connect the 71B; it appears this file is somehow embedded in the DOS .exe file as I don't recall seeing it in the installed set of files (I need to double check on my HP-110+).
I can share both (Rev B and Rev C) LEX files if wanted.
Sorry if I raised any hopes.

I own the FORTH-Module but I was not able to run an extern keyboard. I have a keyboard with a serial connector from a mainframe but I can't get a connection via the Keyboard command. Is it possible that the keyboard is to exotic? It is hardly possible to get a PC keyboard with serial connector.
Are there any hints about this problem?
best regards Erwin

Although the keyword is KEYBOARD IS, it really is referring to a terminal, not just a hardware keyboard. (The keyword DISPLAY IS comes in the 71B itself)The terminal responds to certain character sequences (which can be tailored) and sends replies back onto the IL loop. Which is not to say some keyboard could not be connected, but it would have to "act like" a terminal to be used this way. HTH.

Not true. By "terminal", Bob is also referring to terminal programs like HyperTerm or PuTTY running on a PC or J-F's Term71 for the Portable PLUS. The preferred method would be to connect the 71 to a PC via a PIL-Box or HP-IL to RS-232 converter.

No, the HP-IL board for the PC expressly supports a remote keyboard and monitor using HPILLink. Also, there are numerous terminal programs in the archives for the HP-IL to RS-232 converter.
