I started with EMU71 before getting a 71B. I would recommend that others do as well. Running EMU71 on Windows or Linux/DOSEMU allows for cut/paste to load up programs easily.
If you have a 71B the most effective way is HP-IL.
Your worse case scenario is to type it in.
I have not use EMU71 for the 200LX, but assuming it has emulated HP-IL support you have a few options:
- Install EMU71 on a Windows or Linux PC, cut/paste, then store to :HDRIVE1 (virtual floppy drive). Then copy the virtual floppy drive to your LX200.
- Copy the source as a text file to your LX200. Add EOF to the end and save as emu_in.dat in your EMU71 directory. Then type:
10 DESTROY ALL
20 DIM A$[100]
30 INPUT "FILENAME:";F$
35 PURGE F$
40 CREATE TEXT F$
50 ASSIGN #1 TO F$
60 ENTER :DOSLINK ;A$
65 IF A$="EOF" THEN CLEAR :DOSLINK @ END
70 DISP A$
80 PRINT #1;A$
90 GOTO 60
Save as DOS2TXT, then run it.
- Type it in.
- I have not done this, but you may be able to do a serial to serial transfer from PC running EMU71.
