Virtual HP41 and Virtual HP-IL - Mike (Stgt) - 09-12-2012
Is there a virtual HP41 that goes withChristoph Giesselinks Virtual HP-IL? Alas no, AFAIK. Or is there someone at it? Should I do it? (There is a 'IL add on' for the Nonpareil-HP41, but does it talk with ILPer/ILSope/etc.?)
Well, the HP-71B (and Emu71/Win) is the better IL controller but I feel more comfortable with the HP41.
Ciao.....Mike

Emu41 by J.F. Garnier works with the virtual HP-IL. It's a console (DOS) based program, but it quite a capable emulator.

Yes but it's limited to it's own virtual devices inside emu41.
Since MS-DOS does not have a TCP-IP stack, emu41 cannot establish a socket with Christoph virtual devices.
One solution will be to share alternatively a LIF drive between the two simulated world (emu41 & emu71).
A second solution requires 2 PIL-Box with a setup like this ...
emu41 -> VCOM over USB -> PIL-Box-1 -> HP-IL -> PIL-Box-2 -> VCOM over USB -> ILPer -> other virtual devices

You are right.
But what I meant was that Microsoft did not include a generic IP stack with a standard API that would have been included on all MS-DOS machine.

Thanks for everybody who replied. Seems a tricky thing. BTW, TCPIP did work on DOS in some way as "we" used the HP200LX for eMail and such things quite well, with modem or via IrDA mobiles.
