HP Classic upgrade kit - Multi Emulator (updated list of emulated models)

[rprosperi]

How about this:

For those models that originally had Continuous Memory, the emulator should behave the same way the original machine did (i.e. retain those portions of memory retained in the original machines), and other models of course would not. When powering-on, the "C" models would have the saved information loaded.

In addition, the "C" models would also have the "SC" feature that lets you save the same information to a file, which could be restored via some other specific manually-invoked command, thus letting you save a particular configuration (programs, registers, etc.) and easily restore it at some later date, but meanwhile use the normal "C" memory retention during power-off/power-on sessions.

So, you get the best of both worlds.
