Basic ROM for HP Portable Plus

[pamphonica]

Well, that was easy - ran up my old Win98 machine, connected my old Dataman S4 programmer, loaded up the BASIC file Dave F pointed me to, burned it to a 27C256, slotted it into the software module and bingo!
I now have Basic, which will help to do a few sinple things, hopefully.
I'll need to find out how it deals with sending things to HP-IL devices.

Why isn't software installtion this easy any more. This whole process was probably no slower than a modern software load, and it certainly boots quickly.

Thanks everyone
