Hi Ralph,
I mentionned a while ago (see msg #508) that I have a problem with
SAVE-SYSTEM. Could it be the same problem? Could it related to the USB
driver and that, while saving the system, there is no period of inactivity
and the buffer gets full or something?
Just a thought.
I tried to insert the word 'wait' (see msg #530) somewhere in the
SAVE-SYSTEM code but I could not find a strategic place for it. I'll look again.
Thanks
Mario

| (...) Mario, I did some checking and I think the real issue is with the USB driver from LEGO. The serial tower does not exhibit this behaviour. It has its own problems, which include falling asleep after 2 seconds of inactivity. So, as far as I can (...) (22 years ago, 2-Jul-02, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.pbforth)
