In accordance with Christophs instructions above I loaded "A lif image with ROMCOPY,POKELEX AND ROMDMP into the 71 via Ilper and the PIL-BOX.If I understand correctly the POKELEX file also contains a PEEK$ LEX file. These 3 files are in 71b ram, does the program above call these or the 71b internal PEEK\POKE?. I'm thrashing around here, sorry my knowledge has become extremely hazy.

As for EM71/win, no luck, what should the HP-71B_OS2CDCC_ROM.BIN file be called, I have the ROM's. I placed this file in the installation directory and tried many different variations on the name without effect. Same error message. I installed EMU71/Win using the setup program.

The PEEK and POKE commands in the LEX file supersede the built-in commands, and therefore provide versions that are not limited by file protection. However you need to edit/re-enter all the BASIC lines in programs which contain these commands in any programs that existed prior to installing the LEX file, as those programs were internally 'compiled' with the OS command tokens, and editing them (retype them exactly as they were) will update the tokens to use the new LEX file versions.

The correct ROM filename for EMU71/Win is HP71B.rom, and you will also need HPILROM.bin (to the OS, this 'looks like' a plug-in ROM, different from the OS ROM, which is why they have different file types).

No need to apologize, you're making good progress!

Isn't the PIL-Box (with ILPER/pyILPer) awesome?!
