We have been using other DOS programs to run other chips out of a parallel
port. All was well until we upgraded to Windows 2000. 2000 does not allow
timely access to the parallel port for some reason. As such, we are now
using a REAL dos machine for these efforts.

The old addage that "Windows is not an operating system, but instead an
application," seems true<G>.

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...

Jon Williams wrote:The problem could be that
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.
