Hi all,
exchanging files with my HP71 to/from PC incl. EMU71 and HDRIVE1 works absolutely great with u.m. specs.
However, since I'm new to the HP41 I simply did not get how to "fill" my HDRIVE1.dat with programs and data (from the software library or even from a DOS file) to transfer them to my physical HP41?
Sorry for asking such a basic question. Can anyone explain the steps required.
Many thanks in advance, Roland
my specs:
HP41CV
EMU41
HPIL Interface HP 82160A
HP-IL/PC Interface ISA Card

Why not use EMU71 and its COPY command to transfer files from :DOSLINK to :HDRIVE1 ? The 71B should understand HP-41 files.

Here is one way:
- Setup EMU41.INI with HDRIVE1.DAT and HDRIVE2.DAT (you can use any name you like, but internally to the 41 they will be HDRIVE1 and HDRIVE2).
- From EMU41 use NEWM to format HDRIVE1:
[ALPHA]HDRIVE1[ALPHA]
FINDID
SELECT
NEWM
- Then use HP41UC (http://www.hpmuseum.org/software/41uc.htm) to convert your code to LIF format, then copy that LIF to HDRIVE2.DAT, e.g.:
Say you have the following program:
LBL "HELLO"
"HELLO"
AVIEW
END
To convert to LIF type:
HP41UC.EXE /t=HELLO.TXT /l=HELLO.LIF
Then to use with EMU41:
copy HELLO.LIF HDRIVE2.DAT
- Then from EMU41 type:
[ALPHA]HDRIVE2[ALPHA]
FINDID
SELECT
[ALPHA]program name[ALPHA]
READP
[ALPHA]HDRIVE1[ALPHA]
FINDID
SELECT
WRTP
Once you know the IDs you can just type (assuming IDs of 3 and 4):
[ALPHA]prog name[ALPHA]
4
SELECT
READP
3
SELECT
WRTP
You could also use DOSLINK with .DAT files with INP/OUTP, IIRC.

Dear Egan,
Please describe step 3 of your explanation more in detail. Up to now I never worked with HP41UC....
Thanks a lot for your support :-)
