cappy,

did you use my new "6811 Downloader MCL" version?  this has been
tested on a variety of Macs running system 8.5 and 8.1.

please download it from

  http://el.www.media.mit.edu/projects/handy-board/software/6811_Downloader_MCL.sit.hqx

let me know if this works to download from your 6500.

have you ever used the serial port on this 6500 before?  i remember
a lot of 6500's shipped with internal geoport modems, is yours one of
these?  then try to use the printer port; make sure appletalk is
turned off in the chooser.

please start your debug afresh with the new 6811 Downloader MCL version,
which is tested on contemporary macs running the latest OS versions.
then we can tell if it's a hardware/driver problem with your Mac or not.

fred


In your message you said:
I have nearly teared my hair out trying to get my HB to to DL on a my O • S8
6500 Mac.
   I though there might be someting wrong with the HB and replaced 5 chips.
Today I took my HB over to a friends house who has a Performa 475 and hand ha • d
no problems.
  It took an INit and then the Downloading of the HB librabries contained in
IC Verson 2.53.   I should add that the HB would take the download of the HB
IC 2.53 if the P-code had been loaded else where(i.e. not the Mac OS8
computer.

  To further compund things-I purchased IC student version and it won't
download off of System 7 or my own OS8   My particular computer? Possible but
if so wher would I look?  The serial drivers come on a CD-what would
reinstalling them acvcomplish?  I don't even think you can like on a PC.  The
computer works fine with everything else.  Shoot myself?  Possible solution.
Buy a PC?  Probably the most inteligent thing I've said so far.
   Fred-you know MACs-anyhelp appreciated.  Cappy Anderson, York, ME 03909
