RE: HP 9100A/B: Effects of AC power interruption?
The memory and entire machine state are preserved.
I have a 9100B and I tested this by writing a simple counting program that paused the incremented number to the display. I switched it off, counted to ten, and switched it back on. The numbers kept incrementing on the screen after power was restored. Not even a hiccup. Also, I recall reading in the manual, that if the machine appears locked up on power on, to hit the STOP key, as the machine may be executing a program. So this capability appears to be known to HP. Still, my gut tells me this is iffy as some parts may achieve 'wake-up-voltage' a split second before others, which could do god knows what to a running program. So I play it safe and only use this as a novelty. -J |
