Worlds First Maybe... - teenix - 11-10-2017 03:34 AM

Hi all,

I've been having a few headaches with Harald's controller, but the rewards are coming.

The attached image shows a HP-45 running as a HP-33E and next to that the same HP-45 running as a HP-67. Also have the HP-2x Woodstocks working as well.

A few bugs to iron out with some data tables, but getting there.

cheers

Tony

I want Smile

I can't congratulate the both of you enough for preserving these beautiful devices.
Plus all the others involved of course.

Thanks Pauli!

For my part in this, most of the thanks should go to the late Jacques Laporte for reverse engineering the HP Classic display drivers! Without his documentation on it, I would not have managed to interface to those drivers.

Tonys emulations however are his on work and I am very greatfull he has kindly agreed to adapt his software so it would run on my classic replacement board.

Once we are happy with the PCBs and software, they will be available, I'll put you on the list for one.

Cheers,
Harald
