HP-41 - Nantucket graphic printed by HP-IL 82162A ?

[Bill (Smithville NJ)]

Gene,

I think it was real. There was a followup on page 4 of V7N1 Jan-Mar 83 titled:

"Nantucket" Revealed



While the programs are not given, some background on how it was done is given. Two programs, NAN1 and NAN2, along with some manipulation of the paper in the printer. He apparently provided some program listings along with backup sketches/diagrams of how it was done. It's a shame that they couldn't have been included in the Keynotes. I wonder if they still exist somewhere.

On page 4 of V8N2 Aug 1983 issue, there's a very nice article about Robert L. (Keystroke) Gardner along with a photo of him:

Can an HP-41 Change Your Life


Very interesting reading. And Mr Gardner was a pretty amazing person.

Eventually in the last issue, there was an article about the man who generated it, but I don't think anything was ever published about how he did it - no program, nothing.

Fact or Fake?
