pblq 0.3.pre1
by David Given 30 Nov '08

30 Nov '08

I've uploaded the latest version, kinda, of pblq: http://www.cowlark.com/amstrad This is a whole lot better than 0.2 and features faster blessing code (ripped off from pbltool, ta muchly), better protocol handling, much more efficient flash erase, it now defaults to the right baud rates, etc, etc. This is mostly useful for talking to the E2. It will also talk to the E3, but that's much less tested. In particular, the sync protocol on the E3 is different from the E2; for some reason the E3 (or, *my* E3) doesn't send a handshake byte after you've synced with it, the way the E2 does, which makes figuring out when it's ready for packets rather messy, which explains why syncing is always a bit unreliable. It's a pre1 because my E2 died in the middle of testing. No, I don't think pblq killed it. -- ┌─── ｄｇ＠ｃｏｗｌａｒｋ．ｃｏｍ ───── http://www.cowlark.com ───── │ │ ⍎'⎕',∊N⍴⊂S←'←⎕←(3=T)⋎M⋏2=T←⊃+/(V⌽"⊂M),(V⊝"M),(V,⌽V)⌽"(V,V←1⎺1)⊝"⊂M)' │ --- Conway's Game Of Life, in one line of APL

Anyone want to buy an E3?

Anyone want to buy a used, working E3? It's got the system from here (http://the.earth.li/pub/e3/ ) running on it. I'm not answer much money, but the postage will have to be paid. Any offers? Thanks, David -- David Reynolds david(a)reynoldsfamily.org.uk

E2 hackery & coding
by Dave Mills 14 Nov '08

Hi, I've been given an E2, it has never been connected to the 'phone line, so is still running factory fresh software. Has anyone managed to get their own code running on one of these beasts? Any pointers on where to start? cheers, Dave
