I've been assembling from source code most of the
HP diagnostics for the HP2100 and HP1000 systems. ?To do so, I used Eric Smith's
original "asm21" - and found that a number of diagnostics didn't assemble
correctly. I updated it - and subsequently Terry Newton joined the project and made more
updates. Between us, over the course of several months, we've managed to debug asm21
to the place where we have not found any more errors in several additional months of use.
Do you have copies of the machine readable source for the diagnostics?
I have seen the scanned hardcopy listings of the source but don't
think I've noticed copies of the original machine readable source on
the net. Did this come from the collection of software Al and the
museum acquired from HP, or from some other source?
One of these days I'll finally get around to running the diagnostics
on my 2113E and 2117F.
