MLDL2000 plans and new version - Meindert Kuipers - 03-25-2007 After a long period of relative silence I am finally ready to start working on the MLDL2000 again, so I am now giving a short overview of the status and plans.
All the designs as mentioned above are in draft and need to be completed. More specifically I need to do some testing to verify if this is all really possible. At the same time I need to have an idea of how much interest there is, so please contact me if you want to be added to the waiting list. Please be aware that it wil take some time before MLDL2000V2 will be in production. Please keep watching my website for further news.

Re: MLDL2000 plans and new version - Matt Kernal - 03-25-2007 Hi Meindert, The "V2" plans sound great!!
Quote: If I remember correctly (IIRC)..., in Nov'06, you asked if there was enough interest for a second production run of MLDL2000's. I jumped at the opportunity to be added to that list. With these new features, I again want to make sure I'm on the list (whether you're updating the "old" list, or creating a "new" list :-) Thanks again for your efforts Meindert!

Re: MLDL2000 plans and new version - Matthias Wehrli - 03-25-2007 Great plans, Meindert I have some other ideas for the future of the MLDL2000V2.. maybe one is worth thinking about it....
- HP-IR support: Maybe it is possible to add a HP-IR interface, so that the expensive but usefull module HP 82242A is no longer needed.

MLDL2000V2: my name in the list, please... - Vieira, Luiz C. (Brazil) - 03-26-2007 Hi Meindert, guys; I must confess I'm running out of available time this year. Because of some extra activities at the university I'm teaching, I'm using almost all of my spare time to rest a little bit. I do not even have my computer acessing the www at the weekends, I only read my e-mails at the University. Also, the last time I recall using any of my own HP calculator was in December 2006. I do not use the HP41 with the MLDL since October... But I still want to be part of the MLDL2000 User's Club, and I actually want a new unit plus one spare new USB host controler. About the mass storage on USB: what is the main idea? Best regards.

Raymond
Re: MLDL2000V2: my name in the list, please... - Meindert Kuipers - 03-26-2007 Raymond was one of the initiators of the idea of having some mass storage available, and indeed it is my intention to offer USB media as a means to replace card reader and IL storage with virtually unlimited capacity, and at the same time use the media for exchanging information with the PC world.

Re: MLDL2000V2: my name in the list, please... - Geir Isene - 03-26-2007 I would be out-of-my-mind-extatic. When could I get one?
Re: MLDL2000V2: my name in the list, please... - Meindert Kuipers - 03-26-2007 This will take a few months to sort out and finalize the design, so please be patient ...
Re: MLDL2000 plans and new version - Juan J - 03-26-2007 Hello Meinderts, Please count me in for one of your updated MLDL2000.
Thanks in advance.
Re: MLDL2000V2: my name in the list, please... - Les Wright - 03-26-2007 I am interested too, and very patient, though I would have to hire out to someone I trust like Randy to do the final assembly work. I am hopeless with a soldering iron. A USB interface with mass storage capability would be something else, though, particularly if the file formats were transportable from HP41 to PC. It would be something to be able to write text code, compile it to RAW with something like hp41uc, move the RAW to a flash drive, and move the program to the calculator with simply plugging the USB flash drive into the MLDL2000. And back again if one likes. Anything to keep one from having to rely on ancient computers and DOS....

Re: MLDL2000V2: my name in the list, please... - Meindert Kuipers - 03-27-2007 Those who have asked me to be on the list for an MLDL2000 in the past can trust that they still are. I will send out a message to all contacts that I have as a confirmation. If you do not get this confirmation from me within a week, please let me know. Thanks,
Meindert

Ren, Re: MLDL2000 plans and new version - Meindert Kuipers - 03-28-2007 you will have to do much better than that to earn something ;)
