RE: Library 4 rom questions - 41CL related
hi guys, sorry I didn't see this thread before - I totally identify the CL with the 41 so tend to forget it's not from hp...

To respond to the several questions above:

1. Here's the list of page-6 compatible modules (obviously besides the printer and the HEPAX): AMC_OS/X; POWER_CL; and POWRCL_EX.

2. The OS/X3 is the definitive version of the AMC_OS/X. Revisions 4M and 4N are available. Latest Manual is available at TOS, but not at Monte's site - which only has one for the predecessor Revision 4L. The CL id# for the OS/X3 is -not surprisingly - OSX3, located at 0x168/9/A

3. The Power_CL is to be used with YFNP. Manual is available at TOS for revision 4M, and at Monte's site for revision 4L.

4. The POWRCL_EX is to be used with YFNX. Basically the same functionallity with slightly different U/I to take advantage of the prompting versions of PLUG, TURBO, BAUD, etc. There's no manual for it as of yet.

5. The MMCOPY and MMSWAP are not to be confused with the flash backup utilities YWALL and YRALL included in the PowerCL (and Extreme). The MM here stands for Main Memory, so the copy/swap is performed into the CL ram memory space as opposed to flash. It's done using PEEKR/POKER and not CL Y-functions, that's why they were included as examples in the OS/X manual. Gene's suggestion is excellent (as usual - but not always :-) I'll see to put them into a dedicated ROM image for convenient usage. Unfortunately won't be on another bank within OS/X, being FOCAL programs.

6. There are several versions for the SandMath and the SandMatrix scattered on the CL library. The definitive ones are SM33 and 4MTI respectively.

7. The "SpreadSheet" and "Basic & Word" modules are simple transcriptions of the user library's programs, where I've added a few others to round up the list. The original UPL# are posted at TOS/

8. The "FOCAL ASSY" pac comes from the 41 swapdisk - Be aware that I've made lots of assumptions, as I have no manual or any assurance that it'll function as intended - that material is very undocumented... also being FOCAL-based you can imagine it's no rival to the DavisAssembler or the HEPAX' HEXEDIT counterparts, so it's more of a curiosity than having any real use of course.

I may have missed some, let me know if this clarifies anyway.

Cheers,
ÁM
