(...) I think everybody had that problem at first, because the default setup for IC tries to use that file. The pcoder22.s19 is not supposed to be used for the HandyBoard (I think it's for the MIT robotics course). Your HB needs the pcode_hb.s19 (...) (25 years ago, 6-Jul-99, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)
