Printing from HP-86B ?

Be aware that ILPer doesn't emulate the graphics capabilities of the 2225, but it does allow you to make soft copies the can be printed out later and the 82938A doesn't support mass storage devices. Also, pyILPER has a plotter emulator, but you will probably need the 86/87 Plotter ROM for that.

And before you go shopping for ROM's, consider a PRM-85.

Thanks again, Dave, for all your advice. I was not aware that the 82938A does not support mass storage - I was hoping that would be an easy way to get code in and out.

I have the 82929A Programmable ROM Module, so I do have a way to get one (or two?) EPROMs into my system instead of going for the actual ROMs. I'll also take a look at the PRM-85, to see if it's a better solution.
