Clonix/NoV-64D Success

[BitWiz]

While Diego is working out some of the kinks in the Clonix Configuration Program he worked out a manual procedure to load my NOV-64D the way that I wanted to.

I am running without the HEPAX ROM at all. I am using the 64K RAM as Blocks of 16K Q_ROM for block swapping HP-41 Pages 8 through B.

Using the procedure from Diego and the READPG function in the OS/X ROM, the PIL-Box and the LIF Utilities have filled every page in my HP-41 (some of them are actually multiple pages due to bank selecting). I wrote a short program to catalog every HP-41 page. It's crude but here is the output of the program:

Code:

ROM CATALOG
-EXT FCN 2D 25.63 3.
-LIB#4-R59 35.11 4.
-TIME  2C   26.36 5.
-PRINTER 2E 29.27 6.
-MASS ST 1H 28.42 7.
EXT IL ROM  27.28 8.
-X MASS 1A  23.63 9.
-HP-IL DEV+ 22.64 10.
-DIGITS     24.60 11.
-OSX BANK2  5.01 12.
-16C BNK2   16.01 13.
-NOV CHAP   31.64 14.
-ZENROM 3B  6.13 15.

The first column is the ROM header from CAT 2, the second column is the XROM Number and the number of functions and the third column is the HP-41 Page number.

Note: To avoid XROM # collision between the OS/X and ZENROM ROMS I changed the ZENROM XROM number to 6.

Using functions from the NOV CHAP ROM I am able to swap the HP-41 Page 8 - B block with one of 4 different setups depending on what I'm doing at the time. This block is mostly for HP-IL work. Another block has the PPC ROM and SKWID Bar Code ROM in it. For example.

A huge thanks and kudos to Diego Diaz, Sylvain Cote and Rob Prosperi for their extreme patience and assistance. I could not have gotten this far without you.

Holy Bit Banging Batman, we are spending hours programming a 40+ year old calculator?
