Mac OSX and PIL-box

[Neve]

To all that have helped. I’ve tried both Anaconda and Microconda and they work just fine.

Thank you.

I’m new to the world of HP emulators and also to the PIL-BOX. I’ve always used my machines stand-alone. Only recently have I installed Genesis-41 and V41.

To may of you this is probably trivial, but so far I’ve succeeded in connecting the HP41’s to macOS and Pyilper (thanks to this thread), to Win10 using Parallels Desktop and both PyIlper and ILPer, and to a real PC with Win10.
I haven’t succeeded in connecting V41 (Crossover) to Pyilper. Q: Why did I even try? A: Just for the heck of it.
I haven’t tried connecting Genesis-41 to PyIlper either. But I doubt it’s possible.

I’m sharing the same HP41 PyIlper/ILPer virtual drives between all the different platforms and emulators. That would be nice to have the same ones Genesis-41. Just because…

As I learn all these new features (to me), I see some things that I would like to see added, as well as some “bugs”. But I haven’t probably explored enough yet, and those features I’d like are already there.

Both are extremely nice, and definitely a huge and positive change from magnetic cards and cassette drives, etc…. But to me (no offense) PyIlper seems to be overall a bit more “polished” than ILPer. The plotter, as well as the ability to add more peripherals to the loop, are a nice addition. The downside is that you have to launch it with a command line. Being a hardcore Unix guy, I don’t mind, but that would be nice to have a more modern way to do it.

That was my 2cts after just a few hours playing with the different versions and features.

I’d be happy to hear your experience as well.
