Yes. However, a method for exchanging files between a DM41X and a n HP41 is so far not identified by myself.

Perhaps (I have no DM41X):
- put the raw file of a DM41X into a raspbarry pi or a standard PC (or let a program on the pi retrieving from the DM41X and storing in any area)
- convert the raw file in a lif file https://www.hhcworld.com/files/hpmo/lifu...41lif.html
- put the created lif file into the lif image (I suppose this is the so call virtual drives HDRIVE1.DAT in ilper or pyilper) https://www.hhcworld.com/files/hpmo/lifu...ifput.html
since it will be in the virtual drive, it is accessible by all HP41 or others.

To be verified if ilper connected to the virtual drive HDRIVE1.DAT allow a command of type "lifput" to access this file. If yes, it means an HP41 and a DM41X would access the same drive when both connected to a PC together (I have doubts. most likely, first the DM41X is connected to the PC, the HP41 and ilper are not started as long a lifput file access HDRIVE1.DAT).
