Hello Mike,

Library 4 (4K)
HEPAX (8K) (Possibly not necessary if I can do the switching some other way)
41C Emulator (4K)
ZENROM (4K)
HP Development ROM (8K)
HP Extended I/O ROM (4K)
CCD ROM (Or my own ROM routines or the NOV CHAP ROM)

Disable the Extended I/O and the CCD ROM and enable the PPC ROM.

HEPAX (8K)
ZENROM (4K) (Possibly not needed because of equivalent functionality in the HEPAX ROM)
HP IL Development ROM (8K)
HP IL Extended I/O ROM (4K)
8K RAM for M-Code work.

Q1: what ROM is 41C Emulator (4K) ?

I am putting the Double X-Memory + HP-IL Dev ROM module tentatively in port 3 but some compatibility test would have to be done to be sure that the system sees the double xmem.

HP-IL module is needed to load ROM images from virtual tape into QROM.

Constraint, the following setup uses four different NoV HEPAX RAM/QROM slots, meaning that files in HEPAX RAM of slot 1 is not visible when HEPAX RAM of slot 2 is activated, same behavior for the other two slots.

Here are my propositions ...

Let me know if you are ok with these or not.
I will write down the steps only after we have an agreement.
