RE: HP 28s rom dump with 50g
Are you talking about getting a 28 working on a 50g or to do a 28 rom disassembly on the 50g?
28 has a 128KB rom (if my memory serves me well). So, it fits in the 50g. so, technicaly, you could do both... But it will take a lot of SW to acheive t. Cyrille |

Hi Cyrille, I want a rom dump from my 28s in order to use on an emulator. I have an 48gx, but I read in this forum that I have to have a 128k card in slot 1 merged in order to dump the 28s rom. I don't have the card (too expensive), so I thought if using a 50g could help (Infrared, lots of memory available), but I have no idea how to do it. Thanks for any enlightment on this matter. Cheers |

So obviously hp28 ROM can't fit if it is as big as Cyrile says above. |

RE: HP 28s rom dump with 50g
I have read reports that BINPRT doesn't work on the HP 49g+, so it may not work on the 50g as well. But please try it, so we know for sure.
I may be pointing to the obvious, but one significant difference between the HP 48GX/G+ and the HP 48gII/49g+/50g is that the later only support IrDA, whereas the former only support a proprietary HP SIR protocol. Another difference is the emulation layer. However, this should only be a problem for BINPRT for as long as the hardware/emulator would provide the received data byte-wise already. If the hardware/emulator allows to log away the raw bit-wise stream of state transitions of the IR receiver itself, it shouldn't matter. Since I have never programmed the IR port on these machines, I do not know the answer to this question, but I'm sure others will. Is the source code to BINPRT available anywhere?

Indeed only the first version of this recipe from Christoph Giesselink has had this limitation. The actual version of CLAMSHEL.TXT from Feb. 2007 inside, describes also a variant in section "2.2) ROM upload in parts". Christoph |

I've read through Christoph Giesselink's "CLAMSHELL.TXT" and see that a 28S ROM dump can be done with a base 128k model 48GX in 2 parts or all at once with a 128k card used as merged RAM. Even so, specifics on how to use a 50g to accomplish this feat, saving the 28S ROM to SD card for easy transfer to PC or Mac, are desirable. Has no one ever used a 50g to read the entire ROM of a 28S, saving it to SD card? |

RE: HP 28s rom dump with 50g
Bart, since not one else replied back to my previous post, it would appear you are correct. And the fact, illegal or not, we cannot find a usable 28S ROM online either seems to confirm that pretty much one one has ever done it. I did find one ROM online, but it has a <script> at the end and even after deleting that and reserving, it won't work in the EMU42 simulator (28S displays but clicking ON does nothing).

It works perfectly in EMU42. A thousand thanks, Dave!

Anytime.
I think I downloaded the image from http://quadrophenia6.free.fr/HP/Emulateurs, but that site seems to be down. I did, however, download the entire site a while back, and some other emulators. It's a 1.3GB download, but here it is. Dave |

Dave, I just downloaded and unzipped your archive. Truly the treasure trove of HP Calculator emulators!
Bless you! |
