Connect HP71 to Mac

[hesc]

L.S.

From the many forum contributions I tried to transfer files from HP71 to Mac and vice versa. The contributions of Sylvain and Dave helped me a lot. This is how I finally succeeded:

Copy files from HP71B to Mac:

Connect Pilbox to Mac usb and HP71B HP-IL

Mac:
Open terminal on Mac
Go to ~/HP-IL/HP71C
Execute command pilbox (script: ~/py311/bin/pyilper)

pyILPER1.8.7:
Under utilities: initialize LIF image file
Name file e.g. tape01.dat
Choose: Top: Drive1, device enabled, drive type HP82161A
Change: choose tape01.dat

HP71B:
EDIT TESTHENK
10 FOR I=1 TO 10
20 PRINT I;I*I;I*I*I
30 NEXT I
40 END
COPY TESTHENK TO :TAPE(1)
COPY TESTHENK TO TST2HENK:TAPE(1)
CAT :TAPE(1)

Copy files from Mac to HP71B:
COPY TST2HENK:TAPE(1) TO :MAIN (mark: only 8 characters)
CAT :MAIN

I hope Sylvain and/or Dave look at it and may have corrections.

Kind regards,
Henk Schellen
