I've noticed the only limited success I've had downloading pcode_hb.s19 is
- with older slower systems that have _no_ modem cards installed using dlm
- with win95 or win311 systems using hbdl with no modem cards as well.
The hbdl downloads them monitor, then the actual code, but complains that
config=0F every time (and fails)..
If I set the config register in hbdl's dialog box to 0F, then it succeeds
in downloading without complaint, but ( of course ) won't run.
I am anxious to impliment these wonderful boards in a course I am
developing for January, but am "thwarted". Can someone perform a
"thwart-removal"?

| two things you can try: 1. use DLM to download the CONFIG0C.S19 file. Make sure to use the -eeprom flag. This will cause it to burn the config register to the proper value. 2.
