HP 75 - Quick Reference Sheet

[Martin Hepperle]

Hi,

jumping between BASIC machines like the Series 70, Series 80 and, Series 9000 can be confusing due to the sometimes subtle variations in functions and syntax. As I could not find a HP-75 QRG I created a QRS for my personal use.
See attachment.

Maybe it is also of interest for some of you. Printed two-sided on paper or thin cardboard, cut and folded into a Z-shape produces a handy reference card.

There is still some free estate which could be filled with other useful information.
I thought about adding syntax for one or two key LEX files like HPILCMDS and RIOWIO. Any other ideas?

Very nice Martin, thanks for sharing!!

As a mostly 71B BASIC user, I find the 75C/D and 80 series BASICs very foreign, so this QRG is very useful. I suggest also adding the IO ROM, since most serious 75 users probably use this ROM, as it's nearly required to do anything useful that involves serious HP-IL use.

Thanks for sharing this nice QRG!

Maybe a few commands from the I/O ROM may fit into the free space ...

Ah yes, the I/O-ROM ... if I only had one ...

I will check how much space a complete listing of the I/O ROM commands would take. I might remove the upper half of the character table, instead.

Hi Jurgen

Thank you very much for the QRG. I have tried to download it but am getting a 404 Not Found message... wonder if it would be possible for you to upload it?

Thank you!

Hi Goncal,

Jürgen is not responsible for this problem ... I had changed the file name ... the link above has been updated and should work now.
