One other issue I see is that you're trying to run LIFUTIL from Win98. LIFUTIL was written for PC's of the time and is highly dependent on machine speed, so I'm surprised it runs at all. Typically LIFUTIL is run in DOS Mode with the processor cache disabled.

Can you post the command used and the error message when Fdio reported a timeout?

Hi,

the laptop is a Toshiba Satellite 4080XCDT and LIFUTIL is running without problem - the only problem is that when I save a file and put it back then I got an error an the HP71 when i want to run it. Seems that there have to be a certain configuration - i will play with this a little more. Looks like that it is not possible to put a LIF-DISC-File on it - I'm wrong? Cause it only copy single files ore whole directories.

FIDO: Pic 2 in the document is the DOS-Window from FDIO with the error code

regards

Hi Erwin,

I forgot to mention, FDIO has a problem formatting floppies. The duplicate command works fine.

Try PRINTER IS * to un-assign the default printer, it may be stuck trying to talk only to the original printer? Just a guess.

Do you have any printers defined in pyILPer? If so, do they work properly when the physical printer is connected. PRINTER IS :PRINTER(1) will assign the first virtual printer in pyILPer as the default (assuming the PIL-Box is connected before the physical printer).

Hi Bob,

thanks I tried this like you proposed. The virtual printer ist OK. I made a reset of the HPIL on the calculator, started all fresh with the 9114B and the inkjet printer (which normally prints) the input "hangs" when i type on the terminal. When I push one of the arrow button on the calculator then the text appears in the terminal window and on the calculator. All very slowly. When I run the system without the printer all is running normal - as I can see.

Maybe i should switch to the ILPER Forum with this problem.

very mysterious
