RKSIC does have an option to set up the port. I forget the number. For some reason I could not get 9600 8-n-1 to work but I did manage to get 4800 running. Johns' idea of the PC replacement for the base should eliminate those speed concerns and then coupled with a 8255 card or similar controllable I/O card will make a powerful test tool. Kev
The one thing I don't like about the fluke compiler is I don't think
there's
any way to change the com port settings. Maybe I'm wrong. The baud rate is defaulted to 2400. That's pretty dang slooow. Maybe someone can change that.

Which compiler? Freds or the Fluke issued one?
We've got Delphi in the office & my boss was a big Delphi fan but is quickly becoming a C++ convert.
Thanks, Kev
I have started on doing a windows version of this compiler, but I'm converting it to Delphi (since I hate visual basic, and thats about the
only
kid on the block nowadays) - there's also the option for someone to load it across into Kylix when I've finished and create a linux/unix version too! (in case anyone here is a linux junkie)
the first version will have the compiler and text editor as a windows program, when this works OK, I'll look at putting the comms stuff into the same program so everything is in one place.
I'm about 20% of the way through the basic code at the moment, getting rid of the GOTO's and converting the syntax to pascal.
more reports when it gets to doing something
