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 mode.  This is part of the freeware interactive C zip
archive.

let us know,
fred

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 (...) (29 years ago, 20-Oct-97, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)
