Why I like the blank overlay option for the 41C, CV, CX & CL and my 41CL final configuration - Geoff Quickfall - 06-17-2011 With the blank cards and clear adhesive media, any overlay can be created. If I had (and soon will with the pil box) the 41Z, I can create a template which then requires slicing. Here is a blank overlay for the cockpit but now incorporating HP 41CL functions as well as extended memory and program routines. This labelling is easy to produce and can be replaced without ruining the overlay. It is reasonably durable, but easily replaced. This project took 30 minutes this morning. Note the synthetic T in the display! These are the functions and routines currentlly placed at shifted key assingments:
WPA GREAT CIRCLE DISTANCE TRACK BETWEEN LOADED DATA WAYPOINTS As well, the following roms are loaded using the 41CL functions:
PORT 1 LOWER YFNS (cl functions in PORT1L)

Final configuration and the whys, whats and wherefores as explained to me ;-) - Geoff Quickfall - 06-18-2011 Hello Gene and others. I posted this below and it is imbedded well down the postings. I thought it worth posting higher up as it contains explanations about the CL and CLONIX which appeared to function correctly at first. So ...
Okay, there is a rub in all this. The experts, of which I am NOT one are looking or going to look at the addresses CLONIX uses when ROMS are loaded. These are NOT bugs with either the CL or the CLONIX. Both these work perfectly but at the moment there are conflicts on addressing and priortizing the access with CLONIX installed and the CL wins all the time. My example looked like it worked with a couple of bugs. Probably the way I installed and then loaded created what appeared to be a perfectly function CLONIX CL CLONE ;-) So here is what I did with a MEMORY LOST condition on the CL board (naturally occuring when you recieve the logic pca and install it.)
1 follow Montes' instructions to the letter while installing YFNS The treat here is you could write a routine called PCR and assign it to a key. Invoke it when you want to use the card reader and when done invoke UPCR.
01 LBL PCR (plug in card reader) If it is always the same rom then replace lines 5 - 8 with the name of the rom in alpha. For example in PORT4 you want the full page ROM PPC. The program would look like:
01 LBL PCR (plug in card reader) It looked like the clonix would add two more full page ROMs to the calculator. In fact the reason it worked for me is the portion of the CCD and PPC that were required did not conflict. Cat II on closer inspection reveiled that only a third of CCD in clonix was available and the NAV1B never showed up at all. In my defence I assumed that if a conflict occured I would see a complete failure of the CLONIX ROMS (not the CLONIX). They worked enough to sucker me in! That combined with the inability to find my CLONIX PIC program files to determine address loading and a lack of understanding of the intracacies of the 41CL/CLONIX addressing fooled me into thinking the combination worked. So back to the PIC programmer to copy the CLONIX to the computer and determine the page addressing. Diego will also be looking into this along with Monte (emails). Back to the machine: I have the short routines loaded so that PORT4 can be swapped between the Card Reader and the CCD. I have PPC in PORT 3 and the full ADVANTAGE in PORT2. PORT1 lower has the CL YFNS functions while PORT1 upper has TREK. Of course the beauty is that it so easy to swap ROMS in and out with the XEQ PLUG and UPLUG functions. Well still playing and without ROM manuals that is a treat! The Museum DVD is a must! Cheers, Geoff Just so you don't get bored a gratuitous calculator picture
