I found a new HP71 HP-IL old-bug in the Titan File articles that I didn't know. It's a pretty serious bug since it can corrupt the first file of your disc when the directory gets full. I didn't remember this bug and I didn't find any other reference of it. I named it the "end-of-directory" bug.

I documented this bug in the HP-IL section of my HP-71B bug page.

I could be a nice challenge to explain this bug...

Yes, re-reading the Titan File articles was quite a re-education for me! I thought I recalled "most" of what I had read/learned about the 71B back in the day, but some quality time reading these old articles proved that was just not true, and was also quite educational (and fun). And I've gone back to them more than once since my initial read in the last year...
