I was delighted to win this very used Cassette Drive at a recent convention as I had wanted to use this form of mass storage with my HP-41CX. But I can't make it/them work together.
The HP-IL module for the HP-41CX I bought from a very reputable source, and it looks quite literally brand new. I followed directions and connected these items into a controller/active device HP-IL circuit.
I issued the command XEQ NEWM 005, and the Cassette Drive appears to answer the HP-41CX and prepare the "new medium." However, moments later the HP-41CX displays the error message TRANSMIT ERR, which is puzzling because that error message is summarized in the section on I/O rather than Mass Storage.
Can someone please explain this behavior for me?
Thanks,
Jim Chumbley
