HP-41CY re-initialization ROM

[Sylvain Cote]

I finally got it, I had missed a key phrase that got me lost.

In my 32K unit,
1) the first two 4K blocks can be relocated at any pages (set to pages 8 & 9 by default)
2) the last six 4K blocks are hard wired to pages 10 to 15
3) all eight blocks can be protected (aka ROM) or not (aka QRAM)
4) all eight blocks can be activated ot not
5) the RAMBOX ROM reside in the first 4K block (assigned to page 8 by default)

The page 8 was left unprotected, I am lucky the RAMBOX OS seems to be working.

On my unit, the PG? function returns 16.34 (XROM . FN#) in X and "-RAMBOX 32" in ALPHA.
The rambox32.rom file included with ClonixConfig burned in a Clonix-D module at page 8, returns 31.34 in X and "-RAMBOX 32" in ALPHA.
In the RAMBOX users manual, their example returns 30.35 in X and "-RAMBOX 1B" in ALPHA.

Jürgen,

I will try to find the "-RAMBOX 1B" version, but in the meantime if I want to use the ClonixConfig version,
can I copy the ROM from the Clonix-D module to the second block of the RAMBOX, deactivate block 1 at page 8 and activate block 2 at page 9 ?
