MAXX Module news - PeterP - 12-15-2023 03:09 PM Hi, just wanted to check if anyone has any news about the MAXX Module with regards to availability, functionality, etc. Cheers PeterP RE: MAXX Module news - Monte Dalrymple - 12-15-2023 06:57 PM (12-15-2023 03:09 PM)PeterP Wrote: Hi, just wanted to check if anyone has any news about the MAXX Module with regards to availability, functionality, etc. I expect to start shipping before too long. Sylvain is nearly finished with his very thorough beta testing. I will be patching the included Time module code to fix the recently re-discovered bug in Time-1C.

RE: MAXX Module news - PeterP - 12-16-2023 12:01 PM That is excellent news, as soon as you like it I’d love to place my order! RE: MAXX Module news - Monte Dalrymple - 01-02-2024 08:36 PM Sylvain finished his beta testing, but found a "feature" in some of the YREG functions that I lifted from Angel's work. Angel has supplied the fixes, but since there is no room in the MAXX ROM I need to replace some code by making changes to the hardware. This is easy to do with FPGA technology, but it means also redoing some of the testing. I have designed the hardware changes but haven't yet started incorporating Angel's software changes. Bottom line: A little longer... RE: MAXX Module news - Namir - 01-02-2024 10:32 PM Thanks Monte. I am sure it is worth the wait. Namir RE: MAXX Module news - PeterP - 01-05-2024 09:41 AM Thanks for the update Monte! RE: MAXX Module news - floppy - 01-10-2024 05:21 PM It means, now (soon) we can buy a cheap second hand HP41C without any module instead an expensive HP41CX? (and just wait Monte parts to buy them).

That for me is better than a CX 'AM RE: MAXX Module news - Sylvain Cote - 01-11-2024 02:22 PM (01-11-2024 11:56 AM)Ángel Martin Wrote:+ 12x 4K 10-bit SRAM memory that can hold ROMs and/or be used as QROM.(01-10-2024 05:21 PM)floppy Wrote: It means, now (soon) we can buy a cheap second hand HP41C without any module instead an expensive HP41CX?

RE: MAXX Module news - floppy - 01-11-2024 04:44 PM Oh. Its means we have a new HP41 business cartell situation? :-) - Diego is making battery systems - Monte is making MAXX (which overtake the Nov64d content?) .. Or lets be nicer in my question: how are Diego Nov64d/clonix interacting with the MAXX in the same machine?

As far as I understand they have some overlap on functionality, with the MAXX being a superset. It also represents a great alternative for those like myself that are late to the MLDL party. I've been learning MCODE trying things out on V41, really antsy to try it out in the real thing! RE: MAXX Module news - Sylvain Cote - 01-12-2024 08:56 PM (01-11-2024 04:44 PM)floppy Wrote: Oh.

(Clonix-D + MAXX) or (NoV-64d + MAXX) Diego modules are fantastic for holding ROM modules and the NoV-64d has the best HEPAX emulation. While Monte MAXX module is first and foremost a system module that

edit: reformating RE: MAXX Module news - gdgeist - 01-19-2024 12:35 PM Would love to pre-order; pre-fund this effort. Half nut CX that I rescued from the trash needs to be rewarded for surviving battery corrosion and neglect. The CL is appealing but still on the hunt for a donor that’s a good candidate. RE: MAXX Module news - dmh - 04-01-2024 07:19 AM Hi Monte, have you worked out pricing yet? I'm in Australia so international shipping estimate would be good to know too.

With international shipping what it is, it doesn't make sense for international customers to try to supply the module housing. Shipping to Australia is $23 for First Class and $48 for Priority Mail. UPS and FEDEX are slightly more expensive than Priority Mail. I am waiting the final go-ahead from Sylvain's testing.

Diego testing is done for now, still need to report the result to him though. Meindert project is on hold, so building a breadboard test setup for his upcoming module can wait a bit. Mike is waiting for his NoV module, so his configuration can also wait. Putting you back on top. HEPAX works, edge cases still need to be tested, we are almost there. Monte, have you fix the issue I have found several weeks ago ? RE: MAXX Module news - Monte Dalrymple - 04-01-2024 07:37 PM (04-01-2024 05:24 PM)Sylvain Cote Wrote:Sylvain, no need to do that. I am trying to get the batch of 41CL boards ready right now anyway. I think I have fixed everything.
