Discussin the BX-24 on the BASIC Stamp list is NOT APPROPRIATE; we
certainly wouldn't want a discussion of BASIC Stamps on their list --
it's not fair to the list subscribers of either product.
Please take non BASIC Stamp discussions off the list.

Adrian,
I own a couple of BasicX-24. I don't use them. Instead, I use BS2
and BS2p. Why? BX-24 comes with very poor documentation.
How did you learn to use the BX-24?
