Hello. I just purchased a Handheld Products Portable EPROM reader without a manual. Does anyone have any experience with this device or know where I can obtain a copy of the manual?

This is the version that is enclosed in an HP41 Card Reader housing. It looks just like a card reader except it has "HHP Portable EPROM" listed on the front. It is specifically used for the HP41. Thanks ▼

Your HHP Portable Eprom is a 32K Eprom Box. ▼

I'm assuming the ROM's can be programmed with an image from a Standard HP41 ROM PAC, is that correct? Is there any special format the data needs to be copied to the EPROM before the HP41 recognize it as a standard ROM? Thanks ▼

it seems that Clonix (and/or MLDL2000 and similar modules) will really shake with EBay prices. ▼

There are two groups of people buying on eBay: - those who use and enjoy the purchases regularly, as a somewhat nostalgic but valid calculator system. For these people (and I like to include myself here), the Clonix (and the MLDL-2000 in the future) is a godsend, an invaluable addition finally breaking the tiranny of Zeproms and astronomical prices of uncommon equipment - those who collect the items for collecting's sake, which cause the incredible high prices to occur to begin with, and for whom the Clonix is nothing but a curiosity, not worth much. Mind you, I'm not passing any value judgements here, everyone's free to do as (s)he wishes, and there's nothing wrong with being a collector - but they sure does screw up the market prices for the rest of us!
Best, ▼

Ángel, that depends, if there is a fixed price and a service you can buy it at... Matthias

Why not paying a lot for something vital or you need absolutely? ▼

Hi all, It's still only a spot in my mind but I'm planning to built a 41 modules' reader, to directly dump HP-41 modules (as .ROM images) into a PC. Hopefully it will need very little hardware (or even no hardware at all) apart from the cable itself. I'll post the preliminary test results in a few days. Nice weekend. Diego.

Collecting vintage items presents an interesting example of human nature doesn't it. What one thinks is excessive is minimal to another. Just like one man's trash is treasure to another. I'm sure there are many folks that have paid far more for a bottle of wine than I would ever dream to pay, but that is their choice. That is what makes this "game" of collecting fun! I am aware of the Clonix module and yes I'll probably think about purchasing one. Not for its "special" value but because of its functional value (which by the way, for me, would be far less than the HHP module). I know there are many folks that have acquired this same device for far less, but that is the nature of the game. They were in the right place at the right time. I have been in many other "right places" when purchasing other "valuable, collectible" items that I was prepared to pay 10x for. This pyschology is part of our human nature and that is what makes eBay and other forms of trade work. I will continue to admire my extenisve collection of HP items and will continue to pay pennies for other additional items and big bucks other items that move me at the moment. Thanks for all the feedback. |
