75C Help !!!

[gileno]

How do I transfer files of the computer for hp75 using 82164A? 

In HP71B I use copy :1 but in HP75 using copy ":1" he shows "NOT MASS STORAGE"

The configuration is perfect only in the copy command that I have doubt

I have I/O ROM :-) 

Thank's

You can't refer to devices by their addresses directly on the 75 like you can on the 71. You have to use the accessory ID or the DEVID. I believe the I/O ROM gives you the AID$ and DEVID$ functions. So you could say 'copy "foo" to AID$(1)' for example.

That's all from (dim) memory, so check the manuals for the exact syntax.

Look in the manuals. What is the name of the function that returns the Device ID? Is it DEVID$()? If so, type "DEVID$(1)" to get the device ID of the HP-IL device at address 1. That should be usable as the thing to the right of ':' in the mass storage identifier. So if DEVID$(1) returned "W00T", you could do COPY 'MYFILE' TO 'MYFILE:W00T'.

If it isn't DEVID$, try whatever the actual function for getting the device ID is. I don't have a 75 in shape to be powered up quickly, and you can look through the manual as quickly as I can. If that doesn't do it, try reading the manual some more. The ability to copy files to and from mass storage doesn't come from the I/O ROM; it's in the BASIC operating system. So the owver's manual will have instructions about how to do file copies. I'd look there instead of in the I/O ROM manual.

Good luck!

DISPLAY DEVNAME$(1)

":I1"

COPY "HELP:I1" TO HELP

"DEV NOT MASS MEMORY"

:-(

"I1" is an interface, not a mass memory.

I haven't tried this sort of thing on the 75. I think the difficulty may be in the file name. Since that's an interface, and not a disk, it doesn't have a directory. So "Name:I1" is wrong - no names on I1. Try this:

"COPY ':I1' TO HELP"

Then do the file upload on the PC.

Good luck,
Howard
