V41 as a device
Posted: Tue May 19, 2020 5:38 pm
Hi all
Does anyone know if the V41 can be configured as a device? I'm thinking if so it maybe something to do with the SC (System Controller) & CA (Controller Available) bits in register 0 of the HP-IL integrated circuit and how to do it? I know that SC is tied high in the real HP-41 and it seems I can get close to a device but not to actually work. It would be great if V41 could be configured as a device like the 71 so multiple instances could exist in the same HP-IL loop then data & programs could possibly be passed directly between them. If not it would be great if the V41 could be modified to provide this capability?
