HP41 - HP-IL peripherals

[albertofenini]

We where able to test the following configuration (1 HP-IL device, 1 NON HP-IL device)

HP41C
HP 82106A memory module in port 1
HP-IL interface HP82160A with switch in DISABLE position in port4
HP-IL 82161A card reader
HP 82143A (NOT HP-IL) thermal printer in port 3

we have been able to execute the command XEQ DIR and get a printed list of the programs
available on a Demo Tape

We have been able to test the following configurations (1 HP-IL device each) :

HP41C
HP 82106A memory module in port 1
HP-IL interface HP82160A with switch in ENABLE position in port4
HP 82162A HP-IL thermal printer
and print some sample operations

HP41C
HP 82106A memory module in port 1
HP-IL interface HP82160A with switch ENABLE position in port4
HP-IL 82161A card reader
execute XEQ DIR and we have seen on the HP41C display the list of the program available

After a while we have got this configuration (two HP-IL devices) to work

HP41C
HP 82106A memory module in port 1
HP-IL interface 82160A with switch ENABLE position in port4
HP-IL 82161A card reader
HP-IL 82162A thermal printer

however, before success we also had the following messages :
with both HP-IL devices are on : MEDM ERR
if the HP-IL printer is turned off : TRANSMIT ERR

Will post under a different thread the result of the listing and some problems that we have with
the tape driver

Thank you very much for help !!
