HEPAX program and PowerCL not compatible on 41CL?

[Ángel Martin]

Hi Mark,

To recap: there are two versions of the Power_CL, than need to be matched with the version of the YFNs in an "either/or" manner, as follows:

Either: PWRL - paired with YFNP, ; or (and preferred):
PWRX paired with YFNX.

There's only one library#4, so this is not part of the requirements - other than you should have the latest version.

One important thing: you must check that the HEPAX RAM pages don't use XROM id#'s that conflict with other modules in the system. This probably is the reason why you're geting the splash message when you try to run the first program in HEPAX RAM: I bet you that page uses the same XROM id# as the PowerCL itself (i.e. "C" or xrom 12), which is found first by the OS being plugged in a lower port, and thus the function executed is the splash message instead of your program in HepRAM. You can edit that byte manually using the Hepax' HEXEDIT function, or the ROMED function within the PowerCL.

There are a few functions in the PWRL and PWRX to configure the HEPAX automatically. I mention this because you may have a conflict with the number of Hepax RAM pages. Take a look at pages 33 - 36 in the PWRX manual, posted at: http://systemyde.com/pdf/POWERCL_EXT_O_Manual.pdf

Also in the manual there's an intro section where the requirements are explained (arguably with good enough clarity). I'd start from the scratch, on a PWRX/YFNX setup and using the HEPX4 or HEPX8 functions from the PWRX to do the HEPAX setup.

This should plug the HEPAX ROM as well in the immediately precedent page to the Hepax RAM. You can move it later to page 6 or 7 if you wish, but when you do that mind potential conflicts - for instance the PWRX may be already in one of those.


Hope this helps,
