    Re: GCC 2.8.1 for HC11 —Keith Hearn
   Curt, I can't help test with a miniboard, since I just have a handyboard ("just" have a handyboard?). But I'd be willing to give any help I can with the handyboard libs. I'm also a willing guinea pig for trying out your gcc-2.8.1 patch and README. (...) (26 years ago, 2-Apr-99, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)

        Re: GCC 2.8.1 for HC11 —Curt Mills, WE7U
     The GCC Miniboard library -plus- LCD routines are almost completely ported to the Handyboard. The LCD routines started playing nicely early this morning but I haven't added the low-level stuff into the timer interrupt yet. I can now write characters (...)

        Re: GCC 2.8.1 for HC11 —Chuck McManis
   (...) ... (...) Curt, may I suggest that rather than re-invent the wheel you take the LCD code out of the Handyboard libraries I wrote that are on the icc11 site.

        Re: GCC 2.8.1 for HC11 —Curt Mills, WE7U
     (...) I took the assembly routine out of the ICC11 library and adapted it slightly for GCC (input/output params mostly). I had to split up the assembly and C-code portions into separate files, and have the lcd.h/lcd.c/lcdasm.s files ported and (...) (25 years ago, 8-Apr-99, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)
    
         Multi-Processing —Kat
     Hello all- I am using my Handy Board on a robot. My team and and I thought it would be really cool if we could get it to play music while it is moving. Is there a way to do this? In my testing it seems that it only does one or the other. If anyone (...) (25 years ago, 8-Apr-99, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)

        Re: GCC 2.8.1 for HC11 —Keith Hearn
   I've taken a look at Chuck's LCD code, and I agree that it's the best I've come across. I spent last weekend studying how to program the HB in assembly. There is a woeful lack of documentation for it. There is plenty of docs on programming in IC, (...) (25 years ago, 8-Apr-99, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)
