Where are the SX threads??

Invent-O-Doc

I'm delighted to hear that the SX forum is open again, but where are the threads? I can only see the sticky threads, though the list shows thousands exist. Any ideas?

Go down to the bottom of the page, and under "Show Thread" options", choose from the "Beginning"

(Sounds like and Emerson, Lake and Palmer song)

I still have some of these sx chips and would like to play around with some of the code that was listed in these threads. https://forums.parallax.com/discussion/93427/best-sx-threads-index-and-code-examples

Unfortunately all of these links appear to be dead. I understand this is an old discontinued product but I thought I would ask anyway.

Thanks,

I've fixed the first few, you could try them now.

Unfortunately there's too many links to handle them all, but I'd be happy to copy-paste in more of the corrections if you (or anyone) comes across them! Maybe just post a list of corrections at the bottom of that thread, and if one of the mods see's them we can merge them in.

Sadly, SX links got corrupted with the last forum update. We lost a lot of great information.

In the meantime, a search on the Parallax site for Nuts and Volts yields this:
https://www.parallax.com/search?search_api_views_fulltext=Nuts+and+Volts

The downloads search can also be used:
https://www.parallax.com/downloads

Using SX in the downloads search yields:
https://www.parallax.com/downloads

The site SXLIST.com used to be quite active and a good resource, but it looks to be in shambles now. Pity.

I was able to download some of the project ZIP files.

I still have some SX28 chips. I got them as replacements for the one that came on my XGameStation Pico Edition.

Any more SX28 chips?

I have a lot of SX28 DIPs in case anyone needs some

I am interested in getting another SX Blitz programmer. Or I guess an SX key will work just as well (for programming purposes) I thought I remember someone had one on the forum a while back

I also have this crazy fantasy one day I'll find an original BS1 from early 90's (carrier board was 10 pin wide instead of 14 pin wide)

Thanks!

Please excuse my ignorance, but 'Vista' means it will work on my Win8.1 computer, right?

That question is above my pay grade. I'm mostly a Mac user anyway and my second choice is Linux not Windows.

I know I have run it on Win7 but I don't have a Win 8 here.

Hello!
Are you by chance thinking of the Stamp D platform? That was the original BASIC Stamp. The carrier board had the contents of the original Stamp on it, plus the 9V power connectors. And of course the strange three pins that it used via a Parallel port.

I've run the Stamp software on 98 and on XP, and thence on 7 but not on 8, I did try 8 and 8.1 on the earlier laptop. It depends on the software, but you should be able to run it on whatever laptop you have there.

This is the Stamp I'm talking about, the original Stamp. (I 'made' this pic)

Yes that is the the first one. It was called the "Stamp D" by the creators. The label on the processor confirms what, ah, release it runs.
