HP-71: FORTH/Assembler Pac Rev.B - and the Ultimate HP-71 ROM Extension.

[mfleming]

Thanks J-F for the excellent contribution! I've loaded it and will try something new in Forth. Perhaps Gerson's "another method of pi?"

The emulator code was complete a few weeks ago, it's the packaging of the whole works that is giving me heartburn at the moment. I've settled on a bootloader to update flash as Tony does with his Classic CPU replacement boards, and a standalone PIC assembler to generate loadable hex files the way Diego does for the Clonix modules. That will eliminate the need for a $20 PIC programmer. Working on this is a lot less fun than getting the emulator working, and takes away time for finally using the ROMs

Go for it!
