RE: Examples of Memory MAP with 2x Clonix-D?
Thanks.
The fact I read now is (quite natural from a boot systematic point of view?):
a) the HP41 start its system and fill the pages with what it needs (from 0 on: cx system, time in a cx..)
b) then it looks at ports starting from 1 .. 4
c) clonixd fill the pages we put him in (no decision there, it just do what it has to do)
d) the detected modules in the port (hpil etc.) would try to overwrite the pages which are predefined (example hpil in page 6 and 7 if the printer switch is on). If the pages are already busy, perhaps an error would occur (an hpil with printer switch off would try to move the printer libs to page4.. not sure if it would be a true issue if the page 4 is already busy with lib4 from the nov64d if nov64d is in port3 and hpil in port4? probably. However not relevant in our case)
d) nov64d is smart enough to find the room it needs (the dynamic one) and for this it must be in an higher port than all other modules/peripherals in order to adapt and use its smart behaviour.
e) the port location of the hpil and the clonixd in the previous setup could be exchanged, the nov64d would stay where it is (since no collision in the pages)
Comments are welcome.

update: bit rework (no major change in the sense)

HP71 4TH/ASM & Multimod, HP41CV/X & Nov64d, PILBOX, HP-IL 821.62A & 64A & 66A, Deb11 64b-PC & PI2 3 4 w/ ILPER, VIDEO80, V41 & EMU71, DM41X, HP75D
