BASIC for HP 1000, 21xx series

I have completed my survey of my HP tapes.  There is quite a lot of
overlap with Jeff Moffat, but some of mine appear to be different than
any up on bitsavers.

In general, the paper tapes for these systems on bitsavers can be found at:

http://bitsavers.org/bits/HP/paperTapes/

MY tapes are *** NOT *** there (at least not yet - unless/until Al
decides to copy them up now.  ;))

Mine (along with a PDF describing what they are) can be found at:


https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B2v4WRwISEQRWWFFdVpCZWFTZEU

under:

bits/HP/paperTapes/JayJ


As I mentioned yesterday, I have not tried any of these tapes, aside
from few diagnostics - not even under SimH.

But they were imaged from HP original tapes I got when I procured my HP
2114, and I am guessing fit the descriptions in "A Pocket Guide to
Hewlett-Packard Computers" which I bought for a course (U. Wisc. CS 436)
that used an HP 2114 paper tape system back in the day.  Today I
translated a couple of C programs that I had written back in 1996 to
check my images (absolute binary and relocatable) and verified these
images with a perl version of those programs.

The following manual, on bitsavers, should be pretty close, but I didn't
see, for example, the assembler operating instructions in there.

http://bitsavers.org/pdf/hp/21xx/5951-4423_A_Pocket_Guide_To_The_2100_Computer_Sep72.pdf

I have software (and hardware) manuals for my system, but have not
scanned them in.  Maybe someday, but probably not soon.


The operating procedures for BASIC are likely to be as described in my
pocket handbook:

0.  Make sure the binary loader is loaded starting at address 017700.
These systems have a way to protect that loader, which is really nice.

1.  Place the BASIC binary tape in the tape reader
2.  Set the switch register to 017700
3.  Load Address
4.  Set Loader switch to Enabled (HP 2114 Loader Enable to On)
5.  PRESET
6.  RUN
7.  At halt, the T Register should contain 202077
7b.  Set the loader swich to PROTECTED (HP 2114 Loader enable to NORMAL)
8.  Set the Switch register to the startin address:  000100
9.  Load Address
10.  Run

It should respond with "READY".
