- Hi,
-
- I just found this group, and I'm also new at this so if I make a mistake,
- please ignore it. I've got an HP-48SX with a 512k ram card from Tripod
- Data Systems, and I'm loving it. I've been reading some of these articles,
- and I'm wondering how to get some of the stuff that you're talking about.
- (Remote control with the hp, Goodies disks, etc...) I really don't have
- access to a modem though.
-
- I'm somewhat of a programmer (hacker before it became a four (six?) letter
- word.) I would appreciate any neat little tricks and techniques that
- anyone could send to me.
- My email is:
- nfb2571@dsac.dla.mil (I think)
-
- Below I've included a program that I'm proud of (even though there
- are probably a million of them around).
-
- It's an analog clock. What makes it different though is that before drawing
- the screen, it fades out (screen intensity at address #101h & #102h),
- then fades back in with the face. It's a little slow between fadein and
- fadeout, but not too much. If you want to turn it off, but keep the clock
- running, push the 'A' key (whatever it's called, the upper left button.)
- To stop the program, push 'ENTER' (if you hit 'ON' to stop it, it will leave
- junk on the stack, 'ENTER' will clear it off and do a fadeout and fadein.)
- FADEIN and FADEOUT are separate programs that could be used in another
- application. The program is an entire directory with 8 files in it. I
- downloaded it with kermit.
-
- I would really appreciate it if some of you would email me and tell me what
- you think of this program, or anything to make it better (or faster.)
- I've noticed before I added the screen fading that it pauses (hiccups?)
- every 6 seconds or so. Is there some reason for this? Can I get rid of it?
-
- I read that some of you need cables. A friend of mine sells cables and
- overlays for the HP-48. The cables include a 2 meter cable, db-9 to db-25
- adapter, and a 720k disk with kermit and some programs on it (I think
- he's going to add the program below to it, but I'm not sure.) It costs
- $25.00 with a student discount (he said that if you want to tell him that
- you are a student, he'll never know, they are $32.95 otherwise.) The
- overlays have the greek letters and all the blue and orange shift keys.
- They cost $10.00 with student discount and $11.95 otherwise. These are
- US dollars, and come with postage paid inside the US. Outside you'll have
- to include postage. I've got both of them myself, and they are nice.
- I used to have an HP cable, but it was a lot shorter (I'm not sure how
- much) and didn't come with the software or adapter. The overlay is
- cheaper that what I've seen elsewhere and I think it has more on it.
- This isn't a paid advertisement, and I'm not getting anything out of it,
- I just thought I'd pass the info to you.
- His address is:
-
- SCS
- 3312 Columbus Ct. #11
- Columbus, OH 43290
- (614) 236-6062
-
- I hope this information is useful, and I hope you enjoy the program.
-
- (P.S. again, please email me and tell me what you think of this program;
- comments, suggestions, criticism, whatever)
-
- (Sorry, but I have to do this)
- Disclaimer:
- My opinions are my own and not of the Federal Government.
-
- I'm not sure if I'm suposed to do anything here or not, but the program
- starts here.
