LIB4 & AMC_OSX issue

[Hiwi]

Hi,
i have installed on a NOV64d the LIB4 in page 1-4 and AMC_OSX in page 1-7. No other modules.
The libs are from the 2024 repository, i suppose the newest. Lib4 shows R6.06b

But i can't see the Bank2 functions like BFCAT PGCAT... and the Cat1 Extend Catalog.
The main functions and extend cats (0,7,8,9A...), XEQ, and ASN functions work as expected.
I have a HP41CX Halfnut from 1989, what is going wrong?

Hello Ralf,

You probably used the old library 4 version of the AMC OSX module instead of the new 4 banks version.

Try this configuration:

• page 4 bank 1 : LIBRARY4.ROM
• page 7 bank 1 : OSXB1.ROM
• page 7 bank 2 : OSXB2.ROM
• page 7 bank 3 : OSXB3.ROM
• page 7 bank 4 : OSXB4.ROM

Edit: I have successfully tried these configurations:

Using: ClonixConfig61.exe / PicKit2 / NoV-64d

Note: the NoV-64d is two modules in one, it can be:
- a NoV-64 module (Flash enabled & FRAM enabled) or
- a Clonix-D module (Flash enabled & FRAM disabled)

The configuration #4 is working, even though Ángel says that it should not be done.

Quote:Note also that you should avoid plugging it together with another bank-switched module (with a 4k footprint) sharing the same logical external port .

The last configuration allow me to use HP-IL (page 6 & 7) when needed and has at least a free 4K space for the HEPAX ROM auto-relocalisation functionality to remap itself to page 14(E) or 15(F).

Thank you Sylvain,
you are right, I didn't use the correct version of the AMC_OSX module.
Now I tried config #3 and it works perfect.
Config #4 may be interesting too, in case i will use HPIL.

Hello Sylvain,
configuration #4 does not work on my CX.

I have Lib4 R60, I can see the Warp Module and the functions with CAT2, but when executing e.g. XEQ+, and trying using the autocomplete function, the CX powers down and WARP module is gone , i have an "DC2 BANK3 entry".

I made another config with the CCD Module CCDU/L B1/B2. This does not work when i try to use bankswitching. Are they not compatible?

Just stumbled into this thread so haven't had a chance to delve into the details but... a good troubleshooting tactic is to mimic the configuration on V41 to discard hardware issues. If it works as expected on V41 then the software is *usually* ok.

[Hiwi]

Hi,
yes this is an option, but i like more the physical HP41.
I have it always in my pocket.

And i am using a datalogger in the field.

I have the V41 / ilper installed, but never digged into the configuration too much.
I don't know how to attach the bank switching modules. Standard modules is easy. Hepax, CCD and so on.

Has anyone a config file for a more sophisticated setup? (and i need to exctract the mod files from the romfiles )

How can i use a Nov64d Module?

Ralf
