I’ve been playing with the HP50g emulator for a bit, I have a real HP50g as well.
The real one connects perfectly with the HP connectivity kit on a PC or on a Mac running Windows (10) and the connectivity kit in a VM.
However, the emulator cannot connect to the kit. Maybe I’m doing something wrong…
The help manual stipulates that it can, and shows how to do it. But none of my 50g emulators have the necessary options available.

All Ports are disabled, and cannot be enabled…. See attached pictures.

Any ideas???

PS: On a side note, does anyone know if a MacOS connectivity kit exists for the HP50g? I can’t find one anywhere.

Thanks all

I believe the only way to connect the HP-50g emulator to the HP Connectivity Kit is to use a null-modem emulator. The process is a bit finicky. It is nice to be able to use the Backup and Restore functions of the connectivity kit to have a clone of my physical calculator.

EDIT: I missed the part where said you weren't using Emu48, so the first screenshot I attached is irrelevant. I don't typically use the official HP-50g emulator, but I verified that using the null-modem emulator will allow you to connect to the HP Connectivity Kit. Once installed, you will be able to select a COM port from the Virtual USB Port dropdown down menu.

Hi,

Thanks, that’s brilliant. Since I’ve finally succeeded in making it work the way I wanted, I’ve come to like Emu48, but I’ll definitely try that!!

Many thanks!!!
