Tape Drive copy to PC with 71B IL/RS232. - Raymund Heuvel - 01-13-2009 As result of some HP71B + IL / IL-RSR232 an IL-tape drive (82161A) experiment,
The 71B is not involved in the copy process! The IL protocol
5 CALL COPYTAPE @ SUB COPYTAPE
Sources: HP 82161A Cassette Drive Manual, overview DDL/DDT commands
Known Issues: HP-IL communication is not possible during transfer (takes about 10 minutes + a two rewinds)
Of course this could be the n-th reinvention of this. Then so be it ... :) Best regards
Raymund.
Re: Tape Drive copy to PC with 71B IL/RS232. - Egan Ford - 01-13-2009 Awesome Raymund. I am a huge fan of HP-IL. What could possibly be nerdier than talking with dinosaurs, oops, I mean, networking with vintage calculators? :-) You may want to post this as an article.
Thanks.
