Is my new BS2SX DOA -or- using wrong editor?

Hi Jay,
Before you ask, here is some useful informations about baudrates.
The BS2SX doesn't work with the values you can find into the manual...
Here is the message I got few days ago :

> Change $4054 to $40F0 (for 9600 bps)

> Change $418D to $43FD (for 2400 bps)
> Depending on the program you're trying to run, the baudmodes will

> directly in a Serout instruction.
Hope this will help you with your first SX !
Bye,
Phil.

There WAS a DOS version of the Stamp2 SX software. It was short-lived, and
a predecessor to the present "WinSlut" version. I HAD a copy of it, but I'm
not sure if I kept it. You might look at the Parallax website for a DOS
version of the Stamp II SX software.
If there is none, please contact me offlist, and I'll see if I have an
archived copy. I'd check, but I'm in the process of an hour-long download
at the moment (sorry).

Probably not. What OPSYS are you using ?

Just bought my first BS2SX and am a bit puzzled. I've used a number of
BS2's and the STAMP2X.EXE editor (under DOS 5.0) and had absolutely no
problems. However, the brand new BS2SX fails to respond to the Alt-I
command with "Hardware Not Found"....
This leads me to believe that the STAMP2X.EXE editor does not support
the BS2SX. Am I correct in this assumption? Do I now *have* to use the
WinSlut-9x version of the editor to do my work now? Suggestions?
Or is my BS2SX simply DOA?
Thanks,
--- Jay

Found it! I guess I was assuming that the older version of STAMP2
would at least talk to the BS2SX. Guess I was wrong...
Went back to the Parallax site and found what I was looking for in the
"Download" area. I pulled down STAMP2SX.EXE and it works GREAT! :-) I
also pulled down the STAMPW.EXE install program for WinSlut, just in case
I ever have to use it...
Anyone ever run STAMP2SX.EXE under DOSEMU in Linux?
Thanks,
--- Jay

Hi Jay,
STAMP2X.EXE was written expressly to run on Macs. The "x" has nothing to
do with the "x" in BS2SX. Do I surmise correctly that you are running
STAMP2X.EXE under the SoftPC emulator on a Mac? The bad news is that
STAMP2X.EXE won't recognize the BS2SX, and the regular DOS software
(stamp2.exe, stamp2sx.exe) doesn't work for the RUN step on the Mac either.
I don't think Parallax supports stamp2x.exe any more, because it was
problematic on more recent Macs and under the more recent PC emulators.
Visit the Parallax home page
http://www.parallaxinc.com/
for some late breaking news on programming stamps using the Windoze
software running under virtual PC on an iMac--requires some very specific
hardware/software.
Ahh, I see you posted a success! message...

Oh, I guess I was wrong about the Mac surmise...
