So, now that I've got a pair of HP 21MX
machines sitting here
(thanks Jay!), I could use something to toggle into them to test out
the memory, or do "nifty things" with the frontpanel lights.
Memory has already been thoroughly tested in those machines with HP
diags :)
There's a few toggle-in programs in the CE handbook. I believe it's in
the "common data" section just before the diagnostics. Let me know if
you can't find them (on bitsavers).
The next question: is there some sort of 'user guide' that shows how to
operate the frontpanel to deposit/examine values in memory, etc? I've
figured out how to get the program counter, and step through
instructions (and the run/halt switch), but don't really know what the
other registers/stuff is.
Thanks. :)
