Well, Jan also wrote an assembler which is available of the archives at
SEQ.UNCWIL.EDU.  The name of the assembler is "Star", and it's the assembler
that I've used for all my ML code.  In case my name doesn't ring any bells,
I wrote the HP48 screen dissolver (200 lines), the recently posted sound
routines (around 1000 lines I guess), Vaders (around 6000 lines), and the 
Multiprogramming Environment (MPE) under which Vaders runs,
..all using Star.  

HP also has released their assembler to the public, but its macro capabilities
are a bit restrictive compared to Star.  Also, I prefer the AG mnemonics
and the assembler syntax used by Star...but that's just me.

Sure:  ""  #3FF9h  SYSEVAL  #61C1Ch  SYSEVAL.   :-)

Seriously, heavy programmers should consider using odd-nibble-length
strings.  The idea has been around for many years.  For example, the
HP-41's RCLFLAG extended function placed a "string" on the stack.  But
it was a strange sort of string that the STOFLAG and X<>F functions
magically recognized and allowed as input, while rejecting "normal"
strings.  They recognized RCLFLAG's output because HP cleverly stored
a hex F in the second nibble (which was ordinarily just a 0).  This
left it a valid string (so you could store it), but "tagged" it as
output from RCLFLAG, a fact that only STOFLAG and X<>F looked for.
HP's purpose was obvious: they didn't want users accidentally using a
normal text string as input to STOFLAG, because that would scramble
the system flags, probably with disastrous consequences.

Perfect application for this: solve the RF problem.  Append the
two-byte CRC at the end of the string, and then a single magic nibble
as an "RF object tag" (say, F).  RFU could then tell in an instant
whether its input really came from RFP or not; nothing else in the
world creates odd-nibble-length strings that end in F!

And that would leave 15 other "object types" (String+0 through
String+E) for other highly input-sensitive programs to define.

I had my HP48 engraved with my last name across the front plate on the right,
just above where it says "scientific expandable.  The jeweler I took it to
was able to engrave the calculator with his standard equipment and it looks
very good.  I am an engineering student and had my HP15C stolen a couple of
years ago.  A lot of the 15C's were floating around so there was no possible
way of telling (short of checking every serial #) whether or not someone
in my classes had taken it.  With my name on the HP48, I will avoid such
situations, it may even deter someone from stealing it, since my name is  
clearly visible on the face of the calculator from several seats away.

With all the HP48's out there, especially in engineering schools, it
only makes sense.  It cost me $3.00, a small price to pay considering 
cards and all my HP48 cost well over $300.00 

Just my $0.02

Hi folks, here's the story.

I've somehow (don't ask me how.. I don't know either) :) ended up with a
library stored in my "Port0" directory (under "Libraries")..

Soo... when I go to the Libraries menu, then port 0, I see "873" up in the
variable list... pressing the softkey for that object, it brings "Libray:
Gateway 48" up to the first level of the stack...

What I'd LIKE to do is somehow get that to a normal using condition (i.e. OUT
of port0, maybe to the stack, then install it correctly..)  Or, if that's not
possible, then at least purge that library (detach it) and then I can re-upload
the file to the calculator.

I've tried skimming the manual, but to no avail.

Replies would be appreciated by email because I find it hard to weed through
the messages as I don't get to sign on daily...

Thanks!

Dan

The HP48S and the HP48SX have exactly the same ROM contents. The only
difference is that the 48S has no expandability. ie Plug in RAM,
Application cards, and equation cards are only available for the 48SX.
I personally recommend the SX myself (32k runs out quickly)

I remember having a simlilar problem.

I had a RAM card, and some program corrupted it.
If you can free and then merge the RAM card (I assum you have a RAM card)
and this seemed to clear it up.

You could try attaching, detaching then purging some libraries.

It's been a long time since this happened.

In a recent EE Times issue there was an article about this drive. They stated
that the drive was designed to withstand a 100 G's while operating. The drive
senses loading somehow and cancels the write operation until the transient

A 100 G was something like a three foot drop onto a concrete floor.

I don't think Radio Shack has ever offered a "game port" for $200.
Unless, of course, it was connected to a sound blaster....

Bad quality--not really.  I have owned several Tandy models in the past,
and I never had a quality problem.  Tandy modeled their quality control
program after AT&T's.

(Besides the tons of defective Western Digital hard drives they sold.  I don't
think they thought a name like Western Digital would be so crappy).

Expensive, yes.  Expensive upgrades, yes.  Not very expandable--on some models.
But you get what you pay for.  Tandy units are of a fairly high quality.

I didn't buy a Tandy computer last time because of the expandibility problem.
But I'm running UNIX, and that wasn't really designed to run on a 386SX with
4 megs of RAM.   I seriously doubt Grandma at home is going to run UNIX.

You *cannot* break the 640k limit on *any* Tandy 1000. They are XT-class
machines. Even the ones with a 286 CPU. The bus is only 8-bits, so 
*extended* RAM (ram above the 1 meg mark) is impossible.

You can get an expanded RAM board, but I hear that only *one* company 
makes EMS boards that fit the 3/4 length cases on the Tandy.

To which catalog are you referring?  Mine (gold, blue, and red cover)
is fully priced.  Maybe you have a collectable error.  Maybe in HI you're
expected to haggle (wouldn't that be nice).

I have a Tandy 1000TL, (296 processor) and there _is_ a board that Tandy
will sell me so I can expand the memory way beyond the 640k (1meg)
limit. Problem is, they won't support it, and it will void my warrantee!
(That's long gone, anyway!)

When I priced it about six months ago, I think the board sold for about
$180, plus the price of the RAM chips.  When I added it all up, I would
have spent $700, or something like that, so I decided to wait and get a
newer, bigger, better computer (non-Tandy) in a year or so.
