Fred et.al.:
Success! DLM, DL, and the others just wouldn't work for any of my
hardware, but a colleague wrote a shareware application ( LOADHC11.EXE )
expressly to load bootstrap 256 byte loader program into page zero of
internal RAM , including the CONFIG reg. I used it to set CONFIG to
0c, and then used hbdl to download pcode : No problems!
I don't know why your tried and true stuff wouldn't work for me, but at
least I found a solution. May I mail this ZIP file up to you?
Now... on to IC!

| 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 (...) (27 years ago, 20-Oct-97, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)
