Re: Upgraded keypad

DM42 Beta sn:00050 updated successfully! :D Of course, I was quite worried about this tiny dust, floating in the air and possibly contaminating the domes or the circuit board (I don't have a cleanroom handy ;) ). So I prepared everything for the operation, sitting quietly, avoiding sudden movements,...

Re: DM41X Beta Programme

A dream must be just a dream. I do not agree, a dream can (or even must) become reality! ;) You may have to be patient, (I got my first HP-IL devices 3 years ago and then an HP-41C with HP-IL controller only 2 years after). And I hope that at one time or another some IlPer features will come to DM4...

Re: DM41X Beta Programme

Received mine three weeks ago, SN:00016 but I didn't have much time to play with it. At the beginning, I did not find certain keys very reliable but it gets much better after a few days of use.

It all began some time ago when Jean-François Garnier created an HP-IL to PC solution. You can refer to this previous post to read more. 8...

Re: What about the latest Update?

My implementation will be a bit different: I want to split the core and shell state into separate files, and change the core state format to something platform-independent, to allow sharing states between instances of Free42 running on different platforms. But I'm not going to be working on that ve...
