MetaKernel, Alg 48, erable and printing HP 48SX/GX

[Jlouis]

First of all, I want to apologise for so basic questions more than 15 years in delay, very late to party, I know, but there's lot of fun in this party!

1- if I install metakernel I still be able to print with 82240a/b printer? (differents fonts, you know);

2-may I install erable or alg48 or speedUI in a slot 2 mem card? (Slot 1 mem card will be merged and will have MK);

Thanks in advance

If you have MK in slot 1 (the only possibility on a 48GX) the card must be unmerged & I believe locked.

Thanks a lot, Gerald.

For the second question, do I need a second card in slot 2 for alg48 and erable?

Once more, TIA

I can't say much about MK, Alg or Erable, but the basic SpeedUI components (CF.LIB and UI.LIB) must be stored in port 0 or 1. Most of the other SpeedUI components also work from port 2-33 .

Printing should be possible with any of the packages (MK, Alg, Erable) and works with SpeedUI, of course.

Yes, it's at least a good idea to put them on a second card, you wouldn't have much memory left if they're in port 0. You might just get both in port 0, my ALG4.2 is 50 kBytes & I don't use Erable.

Really Thanks Raymond, it is good to know that we can split speed UI instalation. I will try it.

Thanks again Gerald.

A 128k card is on its way for me and I just want to speed things up and add a little more power. I've been using 48's for a while and I am very fond to them, so I thought although very expensive, it's worth buying these cards to install those wonderfull library as speedUI.

Cheers

The HP 48GX with MK was how I learned programming & it was a great experience. & expensive - the dedicated memory cards as well, the 1MByte card cost more than the calculator (if my memory serves me).

The 49G was then a cheaper dream come true, everything I wanted plus integer arithmetic.

The 50g even better, quicker, SD card slot!

If you have the money the 48GX etc is fun, my workhorse is the 50g.
