Greetings!

As it sounds like you have the printer-port cable, but no luck in
getting the software to communicate with the BS1, right?

One solution is to boot your PC into DOS with a bootdisk. And run the
DOS based software from floppy.
(The BS1 Editor should be somewhere on the Parallax website)
One place to look for bootdisks is www.bootdisk.com

No cost, no windoooze...

:-)

you're attempting to run a DOS program on a Windows machine. Windows is
really difficult with programs like our DOS BS1 editor because we need
direct control of the port to bit-bang 4800 baud serial to the BS1. If
your version of Windows allows, reboot in DOS mode before running the
editor.

A silly question perhaps, but you do have the programming cable plugged
in correctly, right? Look for the >> marks on the cable and board to
align.

If you are in fact on a Windows machine you can save yourself a lot of
trouble by purchasing our $5 serial interface (allows you to program
from a serial port, and converts DB-9 to the BS1 3-pin connection) along
with our latest version of the Stamp compiler.

The best part of the new compiler is that it gives you the memory map
function that used to be available only to the BS2 family.

the parrallel port, thats my printer port, right?

Adrian Schneider wrote:Isn't the BS1
usually hooked up to the parallel port? There are boards today which
have some additional circuitry to
allow to connect a BS1 to a serial interface, but the standard super
carrier is still using the parallel port (using J3, see schematic at
http://www.parallax.com/dl/docs/prod/schem/supercarrierbd.pdf)
for BS1 as far as I know.
