Is a byte grabber possible / present in any '41 emulator ?

[mstram]

I see that emu41 and VB41CX both mention in the docs that synthetic instructions are supported.

Do either of those or the sdk41 - M41 support a byte-grabber ?

I tried using the instructions at http://www.hpmuseum.org/prog/synth41.htm, without success so far.

Hi Mike,

I do have zenrom running on the v41 emulator

How would I use it to create the "synthetic tone" example ?

Witn the ZENROM you can do for example:

TONE 87

or

TONE EEX 13

(for TONE 113)

Hi Garth,

Thx.

Is there a duration command / setting / register ?

Both the frequency and duration (probably the number of cycles) are set by the tone number. I suspect it is an index into a table, and only the first ten positions are actually part of the table, and addresses beyond that contain instructions which are harmless to fetch as data but the outcomes will be rather random. The list of frequencies and durations is shown on page 76 of the book "HP-41 HP-IL System Dictionary" by Cary E. Reinstein. It does not appear to be on the museum DVD set, but you can see it on TOS. I'll email you the link. Having 117 extra TONEs is kind of cute and minorly useful, but the ZENROM makes all synthetics to be like they weren't synthetic at all.

Bill Wickes' book on synthetic programming contains such a table as well. A link to the German translation of this book, published by Heldermann Verlag, was recently posted in this forum. The table can be found on page 118.

Not exactly the answer but it works with both Virtual HP-41 (Windows) and Nonpareil (Linux).
However it crashes my41 (OS X).

Sometimes walking is more fun. For the lazy I can recommend the CCD module.

Mike, glad to see you are still enjoying Hercules... ;)

[mstram]

I play with Hercules a lot.

Heh, who's going to code an HP-41 sim in 370 assembler to run on Hercules ?

Crazy person that I am, I have run Hercules on Linux on Hercules, on Windows just for grins

We already have Mike's NutEm! :)

But the day is near (nearer) when I may offer my NutEm (coconut emulator, HP-41) for everybody who owns a somewhat normal PC.

Is that day any "nearer"

A search for 'nutem' doesn't return anything in the software library.

JFG asked me for it in Allschwil, alas it is neither complete nor up-to-date.

Ciao.....Mike

Is the (not) "complete" part the source code for nutem?

Some of the other links for the utilities work, but the "main one" is broken.

I see there are four versions. What are the differences? Ángel and Raymond, are there links to the manuals on your modifications?

The OSX/B3 Module Manual is good enough to cover all functionality, and makes some comments on the additions/enhancements over the original CCD implementation of the same/similar features. The manual is posted at TOS, as usual, search for "AMC_OS/X Manual".

Gene: And I can give a big thumbs up for the OSX/B3 module (and all of these - Sandmath, Sandmatrix, PowerCL, etc!) when used on the 41CL.

If you don't have a 41CL running these roms, you are really missing out.
