Alright, one more fun fact - the old shareware version of IC works fine, running under the Win 95 MS-DOS prompt. I think that eliminates any possibility of a hardware problem, meaning it's IC 3.1 at fault! Hbdl works fine as well, under Win 95. (...) (28 years ago, 18-May-96, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)

Also, IC ctually _works_ if I'm downloading something with my internal modem. This is probably slowing down the transfers IC is making enough for them to work. Once the download stops, however, IC quits working again. Truly strange. (28 years ago, 18-May-96, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)

Today, IC 3.1 has decided it no longer wants to communicate with my handy board. It detects the board, I select the Handy Board .icd file, and then it tries to download the default files to the board. However, it errors out on each retry, and gets (...)

Has anyone heard of a release date for a new version of IC for Win 95? The bugs in the present beta are getting... irritating. Maybe I should write a $100 check to Newton Labs and see what happens, eh? :-) (28 years ago, 17-May-96, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)
