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. Have you tried Randy Sargent's DL.EXE for DOS / Win 3.1 full screen DOS (...) (29 years ago, 20-Oct-97, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)
