Modern case for HP 71b

[Geoff Quickfall]

Here it is in the pelican case.



I think brown and black is a good idea Sylvain, I ONLY have one fram but the other is loaded with three 32k rams.

Working on a new suite of programs for HPIL and the lab work. You are correct Sylvain, it is an HPIL beast!

Will update my order.

Cheers to all!

Had a bit of a scare. This had been sitting in its case with batteries in place (dumb). They had depleted but fortunately not leaked. However they were so dead that when I inserted new batteries the FRAM module did not like an immediate power on and the 71b got stuck in a “memory lost’ loop. Clearing the expected message resulted in the cursor followed by another “memory lost” message. Cleared it and the message reoccurred. Pulled the FRAM and calc okay. Replaced the FRAM, turned on, got the “memory lost” as expected but left it this time without clearing the message. It sat for ~ five minutes. Cleared the message and back to normal! Restored the memory and key assignments from the FRAM. ALL GOOD NOW,
