    ·· I could make one real quick…The problem is that the names of each slot usually change and the references in the slot 0 program must change with them or it won’t find the files.

    Chris,

    You are right about naming the Slots, But the one I saw had generaic slot numbers...Like Slot0, slot1 etx....This will be my first time trying this so any help with a good tempalate would be appreciated.....Also Chris, using the store command, is that writing to the scratchpad memory?

    Thanks Again

    ·· Here’s an example…You could add additional slots as needed…Remember, it’s best to always declare your variables the same in each slot.

    Hi Guido,

    The Scratchpad RAM is accessed via the GET and PUT commands, and the same scratchpad is accessible from any slot. Nothing to do with STORE.

    The STORE command works in conjuction with the READ and WRITE commands. It selects which slot will be used for subsequent READs and WRITEs. For example,

    x VAR BYTE
    STORE 3
    READ 12,x
    STORE 7
    WRITE 17, x

    copies a byte from a location in slot 3 to one in slot 7.

    -- STORE is only available for 8 slots on the BS2p and BS2px, and 16 slots on the BS2pe.
    -- A program running in any slot can manipulate eeprom data in any other slot.
    -- A STORE bank selection sticks until it is explicitly changed by another command or until a new RUN command is executed.
    -- After a RUN, the STORE slot equals the RUN slot.

    If you read (read only) location 128 in the scratchpad, the low nibble tells you the current RUN slot number, and the high nibble tells you the current STORE slot number.
