To get EMU71/Win to work I had to take the A module above and change its name to HPIL.BIN and place it in the EMU installation directory. After that EMU worked. I have tried putting all 3 in port zero, choosing the HPIL setting from the drop down menu. Everytime EMU71 freezes until I remove the module?

Hi Tom,

Sylvain did choose long filenames. However, it's not necessary to rename the file. Also, it's not necessary to copy the ROM file to the installation directory.

Emu71 does allow you to install more than one HP-IL module, but usually there should be only one and the "B" version is preferred.

From the Emu71/Win manual:

Code:

9.1.2.11 HP 82401A HP-IL module in Port0 slot

1. Switch off calculator
2. Open the "Port Configuration" dialog
3. Select "Port0"
4. Delete Port0 content if necessary
5. Press "Add" Type: HPIL, No. of Chips: 1, Filename: HPILROM.BIN
6. Press "Configure" to open the "HP-IL Interface Setup" dialog and enter the virtual HP-IL parameters
7. Press "OK" to quit the "HP-IL Interface Setup" dialog
8. Press "Apply"
9. Press "OK" to quit the "Port Configuration" dialog
10. Switch on calculator

In Step 5 use whatever name you have for the HP-IL ROM.

After Step 10, execute VER$. This will show you the ROM's you've installed. If you see more than one HPIL entry or no HPIL entries then something went wrong.
