The Virtual HP-IL family got a new member. I'm proud to announce a simulation of the HP-82163A 40 column Video Interface at http://hp.giesselink.com/hpil.htm. In difference to ILPer it's not a generic simulation, it tries to simulate the Video interface very close to the original. I want to thank especially Sylvain Cote for his beta testing and even more for comparing my simulation with the real device. Without him it wouldn't have been possible for me to create this simulation so close to the original.
Also a big thank to Jean-François Garnier, the IL interface engine was copied from his generic printer inside ILPer. Because of this his (c) notice inside the About dialog.
I also updated ILPer, ILScope and ILPilbox. During the development of ILVideo I made a redesign of the C++ classes to have a better reuse ability of them. So the TCP/IP class code is now identical between ILper, ILScope and ILVideo. They got only some minor improvements. So the ILScope window can now be cleared over the context menu like in ILPer and in ILPer a disk change is now possible without Stop and Start the interface.
All programs are compiled with MSVC6 so they use the MFC42 runtime but still limited to the IPv4 TCP stack. All sources are compatible with VS2005 and later. Compiled with these compilers you get a IPv4/IPv6 TCP dual stack which is already implemented in Emu71/Win v1.01.
Cheers
