HP-75C FORTH

[Sylvain Cote]

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:

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 ...

The 75FORTH is an adaptation of the Series-80 FORTH and both are fig-FORTH implementation.
fig-FORTH 75FORTH was developed by Dave Conklin with help from Larry Woestman and John Cassady.
fig-FORTH Series-80 was developed by Larry Woestman and Tom Houser.
fig-FORTH Intel 8088 was developed by John Cassady.

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.
