Help 75C !!!!

[gileno]

I have just become two nice hp 75c and 75d. 1. Does anyone know how to access the built in roms in the 75C (Data communications, text formatter, visicalc). What is the syntax for a catalog on these ports? 2. Does anyone have information on how to become the digital wand to work on the 75D?

Thank you for your reply,

1. Does anyone know how to access the built in roms in the 75C (Data communications, text formatter, visicalc). What is the syntax for a catalog on these ports?

Data communications, text formatter, visicalc ROM are NOT built-in, but are plug-in modules. There is no command to get a catalog of ROMs (built-in or plugged-in): no equivalent of the HP71 CAT :PORT.

2. Does anyone have information on how to become the digital wand to work on the 75D?

AFAIK, the Wand ROM module or the POD extension is needed, even if there is the Wand connector built in the HP-75D, but maybe am I wrong.

CAT :PORT doesn't exist in HP75C :-(

I'm a little bit amazed that you are *never* happy with my answer, each time I try to help you or give information :-((

To access the visicalc program, type vc

To exit the program: shift-attn (as if you were turning the unit off)

For command menu: /

For anything other than historical curiosity, a video interface and monitor would be helpful, as it is pretty hard to follow a spreadsheet with only a one-line display. But it is interesting to see that HP made this spreadsheet program available for the 75C.
