From the UC-41 page:
"In version 1E, swtching between HEPAX RAM blocks in the NoV-32 or the NoV-64 became really easy. I added the functions N100, N101, N102 and N103 to switch directly to the desired ram block. "
The updated 10 page user manual will give you the insides.
WROM is still there for generic write-to-hepax-ram. But now you don't need any FOCAL program to code/decode address/word for switching ram pages on the NoV-32 and NoV-64. You can very easily switch the ram blocks - even inside a program.
Someone wants to write a 64K chess program for the HP-41?

Added info:
With the functions N100, N101, N102 and N103 assigned to different keys, it is now lightning fast to switch between the various HEPAX RAM blocks.

Geir,
Believe it or not I don't own any NoVRAM-32/64 to try these new functions on, but sure it sounds like a much-needed enhancement.
I'll try with the MLDL2K, should also work, right?
I'll eventually complete the blank entries in your ICEBOX documentation, but time is at a real premium right now so don't hold your breath :-)
Best,
ÁM

Angel,
Please be aware that the MLDL2000 does support HEPAX in a very special configuration, because the native HEPAX commands for switching and moving the banks are not supported. I do not know how ICEBOX does the switching, so be careful, it might not work the same as NoVRAM, and let us know your results,

No worries Meindert, I´m aware of the idiosyncrasies of the ML2k - what a fine piece of artwork you produced my friend, I´m enjoying mine now after I finally got the knack of it.
If I only had the time I might even look into adapting Geir´s method to the ML2k, but it´ll have to wait for greener pastures...
Best,
ÁM
