HP-75C FORTH
While going through my calculator to do backlog list, my next item was the HP-75C Forth.

I have lost my original book and tape in 1989, so the next best thing was to download the manual and zip file from the FORTH Interest Group.
The zip file content is not directly usable, so I have created a LIF volume and I have started to convert and import the files (lex & text) in the LIF volume.

Unfortunately some files are missing from the zip file:
Code:
  Name   Type Len   Status    Content
FORTH10    L  12K             Kernel (~2K free)
F10D12     L  12K   Missing   Kernel+Util+Debug
F10K16     L  16K   Missing   Kernel (~7K free)
F10L16     L  16K   Missing   Kernel+Util+Debug+Asm+LCD (~2K free)
F10V16     L  16K             Kernel+Util+Debug+Asm+Video (~2K free)

SCR00073   T  256             Disassembler
SCR00080   T  768             Size Change

Since the screen listings are in the manual, I could retype the missing screen files but recreating the lex files are more complicated.

Does somebody here have the original or virtual tape ?

Thanks,

Sylvain

Edit: Some historical notes ...

RE: HP-75C FORTH
The content seems the same as a part of the hpcc2.lif disc image that you can find (for instance) on my site.

I have an original manual and tape. Here's an image of the tape.
