HP-41: Release: ICEBOX.ROM version 1E: News for NoV Users :-)
#1

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.

Bravo Geir!!!

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
