HP71B News?? - John W Kercheval - 05-04-2012 Have been off this great forum for a few years... interested in discussing high-powered 41s and 71bs. Any new stuff on the 71?
BTW, I just started a 71B Facebook page if anyone is interested.

That is cool but I am not a tech guy. Is this a calc? What does it look like? What does it do? Cool website.
Re: HP71B News?? - james summers - 05-05-2012 Hi John
As I understand it replaces the main CPU board of the HP41 with one with a CPU that can run up to 50 times faster, has additional memory available along with appropriate memory management facilities and, best part of all as far as I am concerned, has the images of 120 or so plug in modules, HEPAX, ZENROM, PPC, etc. built in! Have a look at the list on pages 20 to 25 of the 41CL Manual on the Systemyde site. When installed in a C or CV it provides all the functions of the CX apart from the Timer functions for which a Time module is required. Cheers James
Re: HP71B News?? - Raymond Del Tondo - 05-05-2012 The 41CL is a replacement pcb for the CPU board in an HP-41. HTH

Re: HP71B News?? - BobVA - 05-05-2012 In addition to skimming the manual, you might want to check out some of the videos that Geoff posted to YouTube about the 41CL, particularly his HHC 2011 presentation. Just search there for "HP41CL".

Re: HP71B News?? - John W Kercheval - 05-05-2012 Guys! Cool, so a novice can self install this thing? VERY COOL. Back in 1985 I modified my 41CV with the capacitor change that doubled speed. How do you buy this board? What about cosmetic changes to the 41? Like AMG Mercedes you should rework the case to reflect the fact that you have a lot more under the hood... as it were. I'm quite serious about this.

Re: HP71B News?? - james summers - 05-05-2012 John Prices are here and that page has a link to the order form which you can download, complete, and then scan and email Monte Dalrymple at the email address given. Cheers

Re: HP71B News?? - Monte Dalrymple - 05-05-2012 The board comes with a replacement front label for the calculator. Re: HP71B News?? - Ángel Martin - 05-05-2012

It´s the best thing that ever happened to the 41 system (HP-IL notwithstanding)
Re: HP71B News?? - John W Kercheval - 05-05-2012 Great, how do I order? Can it be done securely on the website? Are there pics of a converted 41?

BTW I did my calc mods at Berkeley. B.S. 1987, M.B.A. 1993. So, Monty , we have the two CAL degrees in common, FYI.
Re: HP71B News?? - John W Kercheval - 05-05-2012
Angel, say hello to Jim R. for me.
Re: HP71B News?? - John W Kercheval - 05-05-2012 James: Thanks! On the subject of speed, if 50X faster that would make the 41CL faster than the HP71B, which is not possible, or desirable. People graduate to the 71B.

Re: HP71B News?? - Monte Dalrymple - 05-05-2012 Photo of my 41CL Re: HP71B News?? - Monte Dalrymple - 05-05-2012 Cool. Not many of us around.

Re: 41cl requirements - aurelio - 05-07-2012 Hi Geoff! I ask you please to confirm my reading of your tutorial, in matter of a 10nF cap to insert....it needs only if I find in my donor 41C squared display drivers, isn't it? OT: where are you now, flying somewhere?

Re: 41cl requirements - Geoff Quickfall - 05-11-2012 In London, Tomorrow London meeting of HPCC, yahoo, You are correct, only attractive square encapsulated drivers require the cap.
Have fun
Re: 41cl requirements - aurelio - 05-11-2012 Thank-you Geoff for the replay, going soon to make the trasformation and I hope to be not like doc. Frankestein!
