HP Portable PLUS and Term71

[Dave Frederickson]

Thanks Paul and J-F. That's half the task. What about the BASIC program for the 71? I'm too lazy to key it in and now that we have the PIL-Box, maybe there's a more complete solution. For example:
1. Using HPDir, create a LIF image file like the ones in the HPSWAP archive.
HPDIR -initialize -9122 TERM71.lif
2. Create a DOS text file with the BASIC program for the 71B called HPPLUS.txt.
3. Copy the text file to the LIF image.
HPDIR -add -c TERM71.lif HPPLUS.txt
4. Mount the image in ILPer, copy to the 71B, and transform into BASIC.

Of course this technique can be used for editing any BASIC program for the 71B on a PC.

Note that the 616k LIF image created above can be copied to a physical disk for the 9114 using Fdio. Conversely, LIF disks can be turned into images using the same utility.
