Be sure to read first:

page 5, on the Parallax CD Rom, if you use a BS2SX.
I lost about 4 hours before I found it.
Tip for Parallax people: Please put a sticker on the manual!

I am running Windoze 95 and cannot get the stamp2.exe or stamp2sx.exe
programs to see my hardware. If I go into DOS mode then the stamp2.exe does
see the hardware and works fine. Suspect it has something to do with how
Windows initializes com ports?
With regards to stamp2sx--I have a stamp2e I want to program, and
understand stamp2sx vers 1.096 handles both e and sx. A tech support person
told me that I had to make change the suffix of the program to .bse in order
for the program to recog the hardware. Tried that, still no luck. Any
other suggestions what I need to do?
Thanks,
Rich

Hi Rich,
Changing it to ".BSE" _should_ work. There are a couple of other things
you might try. From the menu choose PREFERENCES/EDITOR_OPERATION and then
from the drop down menu choose BS2e as your default stamp. Click okay.
Now when you choose IDENTIFY (CTRL-I), the PC should come back with a
message that it has found a BS2e. Another option is to put the
' {$stamp BS2e}
directive at the top of the program.
People sometimes ask me what takes precedence. The directive has the
highest precedence. That is, if you have a program with the $STAMP
directive at the top that specifies the type of stamp, it will precedence
over the filename extension. That is, if the directive is {$STAMP BS2sx}
but the filename is xxx.bs2, then the program will still in fact be
directed to a BS2sx, and will give an error message if the stamp connected
is not an 'sx. Both the directive and the filename extension takes
precedence over the setting in preferences/editor_operation. The setting
in preferences/editor_operation applies only to programs that have not yet
been named, or that have an extension other than .bs2, .bsx or .bse. The
setting in preferences/editor_operation always applies to the IDENTIFY
(CTRL-I) function, no matter what type of program is currently showing on
the screen.
There is also a DOS version of the programming software for the BS2e.
(STAMP2E.EXE) You can try that out on your system to program that chip.
It does sound like you have some sort of conflict on the windoze serial
port.

Thanks for the info. I did check the addendum, and believe I'm doing
everything ok. Will try the DOS version of the stampIIsx editor. Have
hopes of getting into more of a C dev environment too, if I can find such a
beast that will cross-compile into the PBASIC tokens.
Regards,
Rich
