The files on Joe's site are using the .dat extension, but it's now better to use .lif extensions for make clear that there are LIF files (the .dat extension type comes from my Emu41/71, yes I know :-).

Quote:Mount that .lif file in IL-Per (Drive1), connect your 71B to the PIL-Box, then you can use do this:

RESTORE IO - Configures the HP-IL loop, assigns devices, etc.
DISPLAY IS PRINTER - sets the virtual printer in ILPER as your display device, like a mini-monitor
...

The DISPLAY IS command is convenient to see the operations, especially the first time you will do it, but be aware that if you later use your HP71 alone without a closed HPIL loop, it will take a longer time to startup due to this command (it will try to find a HPIL DISPLAY). Just do "DISPLAY IS *" to recover.
