Does pbforth run under dos or windows on the PC? Does it use blocks or dos/windows file system on the PC? Does it use blocks in RAM on the RCX? If I program directly on the RCX can I upload the programs to the PC for further development? In using (...) (26 years ago, 19-Oct-99, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.pbforth)

Hmm, this is the kind of message I should use for FAQ fodder... (...) You can run it either way. The original intent was to use the dumbest tool possible to interact with the RCX. For DOS this is Procomm Plus or some such tool, for Windows its (...) (26 years ago, 19-Oct-99, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.pbforth)

Pete, It seems to me that a simple double pole double throw relay could be used to select one or the other module. That way you wouldn't need to tie up any other IC/OC pins.
