I've just started playing around with the Modified HEPAX_4H+ Module.
I don't have any previous experience with a real HEPAX Module so I am probably not doing something correctly.
1) The module shows up in my Active Modules List.
2) I can use HSAVEP to save a program in HEPAX Memory.
3) It shows up in CAT 2, and when I Call HEPDIR.
4) I can execute the program from HEPAX Memory, (after CLP it from main memory).
But when I execute HEPROOM I get nothing in response before or after moving a program there.
How much HEPAX Memory should I get after plugging in this module?
Is there some Jiggery-Pokery that I have to perform on the DM41X to initialize some of the DM41X memory to be HEPAX Ram like on the 41CL?
I can't find a manual specific to the "Modified HEPAX_4H+ Module". I am using the VM Electronics Manual as a guide but it assumes the actual HEPAX hardware.
I have probably missed a step when setting things up.
Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks.

My setup is:
BTW:
I just found that by pressing XEQ, then ON, the prompt changes from XEQ __ to XEQ ___ accepting 3 digit numbers.
Angel, does this come from one of the modules I loaded?
It doesn't do the same with GTO __ or LBL __

- Modified HEPAX_4H+ Module
- Library#4 RevR51

Re: Hepax Help
It looks like HEPAX has to be loaded last?
I moved it to the end of the Active Modules list and now it works.
I have 1304 from HEPROOM.

Re: Hepax Help
No, my list is how they show up in Active Modules.
Good! If it works for you, then it's OK.

Re: Hepax Help
I believe the ordering in Active Modules is merely a hint to the system, as are metadata in the MOD file.
I think the definitive view of how things were actually loaded is stored in the rominit.log file on the FAT drive.
e.g. from mine (slightly edited for clarity)

Re: Hepax Help
It is strange. My original Active module order was very similar to Massimo's.
When I moved HEPAX to the end everything started working.
Maybe I got hit with a cosmic ray?

Re: Hepax Help
Yes. It is the Prompt Lengthener from Angel's OSX Module. It is supposed to work with GTO, LBL and a few others according to the manual.
Mine only works on XEQ as well... All others just turn the calculator off.
My 41CL is doing the same thing.
Re: Hepax Help
Oh, thank you, I missed it. It looked strange since it is assigned to the ON key...

Re: Hepax Help
Interesting, the prompt lengthener works flawlessly on my system for all native prompting functions, I wonder why not so for you guys. I'm using the MOD files form the shared ZIP container so that should not be a difference.
one thing to try is using the "_P6" version of the OS/X module, it's possible that the CALC_OFF event is intercepted by other modules "upstream" before getting to the OS/X.

Re: Hepax Help
Cosmic rays apart (possible but very unlikely this could possible be related to a bad allocation of the HEPAX RAM pages - that somehow got resolved after you modified the configuration.
One thing that does not work consistently for me is the permanence of the data in the HEPAX RAM pages during a HEPAX unplug/plug cycle. The contents is preserved if I use the same location, but it's gone if a new one is used. But HEPROOM always responds' regardless.
If your HEPROOM glitch returns, try HEPDIR on it and see if it works.
