HP-49g Kernel - Michel Beaulieu - 05-28-2004 Hi, i have a newly acquired so i don't know the history. When i reset it, i can see briefly on the screen a picture saying somthing like "POWERED BY ...KERNEL, v 3.00". When i type VER, which give the CAS version, i can read "HP49 CAS by Parisse, Heiswkanen & Fiechter", and "4.19990729" on the xreg line Here are my questions : Is is the standard CAS that HP install on the calc or a third party CAS? If it's not a HP one, can i use the HP manual to learn the clculator without change? How can i uninstall that CAS and install the original one? Is there adevantave of having that CAS insted of the original one? Thanks

With a revision 1.18 ROM, the VER command gives me 4.2000031 on level
You ought to upgrade your ROM. Revision 1.18 is the last officially
Revision 1.19-6 is available at
A newer CAS is available, but you'll have to compile it into a new ROM
You'll need connectivity software. In my opinion, Conn4x (Xmodem
But for upgrading the ROM on a 49G, you might need HPComm (Kermit
For manuals, get the 49G "user's guide" and "advanced user's guide";
As Veli-Pekka mentioned, the 49g+ documentation mostly applies to the

Note that a lot of the information for the 48 series and even the 28

Re: HP-49g Kernel - Michel Beaulieu - 05-29-2004 A really goo tahks to you 2 guys, your informations are great to me. You are right, my version with VERSION is 1.10. I'm no sure to install the 1.19 version; it is written that i will have less "user" memory or something like that if i install this version; what it is really?
Thanks again!

Prange (Michigan) - 05-30-2004 Quote:You will lose 64KB of user flash memory to the operating system when you upgrade to 1.19-5 or newer, but that still leaves you with 1MB of user flash memory for storing libraries and "backup objects". I doubt that many of us will ever actually fill up the flash memory, and you can always move some things that you don't really need on the calculator to your PC. Of course, once you have things on the calculator that you don't want to lose, it's wise to back it up to another device like a PC anyway. Use LeftShift FILES (on the [G] key) to see your current memory situation. See the "What's New from Release..." notes with the upgrades. I believe that the bug fixes and improved features are well worth losing the 64KB flash bank.
