I have heard there is a assembler book available for the 48SX. Is this true? I am also interested in getting the ftp addresses for the following sites: calvin.stanford.edu funic.funet.fi I can't not find the addresses from the list I have locally. These sites have 48 programs available. -- Timothy R. Wilhite KB0ASO

It seems to me that there are a lot of requests for general information
and "me too" messages floating around. It seems like I read 15 to 25
messages a day and get one or two new pieces of information. I think
that it would be very helpful if someone who writes to this group often
would include a line in their .sig that says "Email me for Answers" or
"usr/bin/hp on funet.fi has it all" to cut down on the repeats and get a
really good network of information in operation. I'm not sure the current
system is very efficient.
Let me just add a big ME TOO for all those wonderfull scraps of info that
have still eluded me--like the 48 internals file, or maybe just the name
of the directory ata ftp site that has all this stuff
(logging on to ftp is one thing, finding what you want is another)
:-) :-) :-) :-) :-) :-) :-) :-) :-) :-) :-) :-)
By the way, I'm not doing this (my suggestion) because I have too few
answers, I don't post messages often enough, and I'm not sure that my
.sig is going to work at any specific moment.
:-) :-) :-) :-)

All of the information of 28 and 48's from the last two years that I have collected is avaiable from my mail server. I believe I have more files than any of the FTP sites. I have not checked funet.fi lately so I don't know. I am sorry that I cannot also make the files available by FTP. I have: HP28 remote control program All of the CHIP-48 stuff the morse code program the Saturn Processor notes in all ~3 megs of stuff (mostly compressed) Best of all since it uses mail, every one can get to it. Here is the standard file on how to use the server: How to reach Wayne's Mail Server -------------------------------- To request files for your HP-48 or HP-28 you can send command my mail to my mail server. Mail commands to: wscott@ecn.purdue.edu Mail Subject: HP-MAIL-SERVER <--If you don't the mail will come to me. The server will mail responses to the Reply-To: header on your mail. If not found, the From: field will be used. If you want to overide this path put this command in the message: path <your address> To get help: send HELP The HP-48 files are used by default. To reach the HP-28 files include: HP28 To get an index of files: send INDEX If you have any other problems send me mail. (Same address, different subject) I hope you enjoy the server.

Creation of two new newsgroups would go a long way toward cutting the recent overload in comp.sys.handhelds. I therefore propose the formation of: comp.cables.homemade --and-- comp.unsubscribe.handhelds :-) :-) :-) :-)

I think that this topic is as valid as any other here. There are a couple other things regarding cables. And that is, that hp doesn't sell the the cable with the connectors that I wanted. You might say, well why don't you just find the adaptors, BUT guess what cable I just came up with. I just made a simple elegant hp48 to hp48 cable. The whole thing fits in a film can and it increadible. 9600 baud transfer between hps is great fun, and seeing as how I am the local hp48sx program outlet, I do ALOT of transfers. It increases speed of tranfer by a factor of 4 and increases battery life significantly. So far I have built 5 cables. Two I gave away, and they are under heavy use, and the third is my basic hp48 to modem cable and the fourth is the above mentioned hp-hp cable. The last one is by far the most interesting. It has a dip switch in the middle and a four pin connector just on the other end of the switch. The switch allows me to flip pins 2 and 3. The connector in the middle will connect to any number of setups. I can currently plug that wire into any 25 pin RS232, or 9 pin RS232. There is also a connection for a 6 wire phone jack which is what all our local terminals connect to. This allows my to log in and kermit stuff from my account at 9600 baud. ;) I know all you people with PCs are very smug but can you get your stuff from c.s.h to your PC at 9600 baud? Now, if you consider all that I am doing what do you think this would cost? Isn't the cable without software something like $20? This would mean $100 for the 5 basic cables and then another $20 to get another connector for the one hp-hp cable. Seeing as how it has cost me a total now of $8 I think I have a better thing going. > > --and-- > > comp.unsubscribe.handhelds Fine.... This one I can agree to. If this was my mailing list I would run it through my mail handler and have it strip out these messages. Would slow the whole thing down by about a 1/4 of a second. ;) ;) > >:-) :-) :-) :-) ian -- -=Runaway Daemon=-

To add to the cable debate, I made MY cable for about a total of 10 cents! Of course this includes labour. And I guess I should admit that the technicians in electrical engineering here helped with parts: "cable? the spool is over there, go on, take a few meters or ten!" "rs2323c connectors? the box is over there. Help yerself!"
