All,
I'm trying to use EMU71 and I think I have is mostly sorted.
My 'ini' file looks like this
; emu71.ini initialisation file of emu71
; 10 softwired modules max., plus 1 hardwired module at E0000
; port(1-5) type(ROM,RAM,HRD) size(Ko) file
;
[modules]
1 ROM 16 hpilrom.bin
2 ROM 32 mathrom.bin
5 RAM 32 iram1.bin
[devices]
HDRIVE1 mydisk.bin
HDRIVE2 lexfl1.lif
However when I try to use either HDRIVE1 or HDRIVE2 I get the error:
HPIL ERR:No Loop
What have I missed or misunderstood ?
Many Thanks
Sean

Hi,
Did you do a INITIALIZE :HDRIVE1

The error "HPIL ERR:No Loop" happens when trying to access a non existing loop (the HP-71B can manage up to 3 loops, for instance "CAT :MASSMEM:2"). Early versions of Emu71 didn't manage any loop at all even if the HPIL ROM is loaded, and this error was returned for any HPIL function.
My advices:
- check the Emu71 version or date, maybe are you using a very old one,
- check the command syntax, for instance "CAT :HDRIVE2", not "CAT :HDRIVE:2",
- reset Emu71 by deleting the file sys71.dat (-> "Memory lost").

It was an old version of EMU71.
Working fine now !
