From: RR on 11 Jan 2006 12:34 Hello, I've been using an HP28S for several years and I've heard there is an emulator for windows. I've also been told that I need the ROM image for using the emulator. Is it possible to download the HP-28S rom image from somewhere? Or do I have to extract it from my real calculator? I have a laptop with an infrared port but I don't lnow how to do the transfer. Anyone can help? Thank you in advance. Regards RR

You can find complete instructions, and the emulator itself, at Cristoph Giesselink's website: http://privat.swol.de/ChristophGiesselink/emu28.htm Regards, Gerson.
From: fbarbaise on 12 Jan 2006 05:37 for the HP-28C emulator, use Emu28 and for the HP-28S emulator, use Emu42 from Christoph Giesslink's site. You'll find also a complete instruction set to extract the ROM on his site. The extraction of the ROM takes a while. I advise you to include new batteries before extrating the ROM. Thus, you'll need an HP-48sx or HP-48GX to transfer the ROM file on the PC. Good luck. fred.
From: Howard Owen on 14 Jan 2006 01:03 You actually need a 48GX with a port 1 RAM card merged with main memory to download the Hp-28S ROM. It's a little over 128K which exceeds the base RAM of any Saturn based 48. I'm not sure if a 48SX with merged 128K RAM card would work, or if that configuration is even possible.

Of course merging only works if RAM cards are installed, and amount of merged RAM depends on the capacity of the cards;-) Raymond |
