Hi, is there a DOS-based driver also?

I started it but decided to do other things instead. Are you asking for this? Requests always help to sway my priorities.

I'm not sure. What I (and I think a lot of PIClisters here) need, it is either a DOS-based programming software capable to drive the PICStart+, or at least the description of the protocol how communicates MPLAB with PICStart+. In the latter case I would write the software myself. The point is, that I find PICStart+ useful, but I cannot be persuaded to use Windows and associated software. I do not know exactly at a moment what you have. If you had the communication protocol, I'd be very grateful if it could be shared. Imre [snip]

I have a PicStart+ and an HP200LX palmtop. I want to get those work together since 2 years now. The HP200LX is an 80186 640k DOS compatible with RS232C. The DOS version of MPASM runs on it and can assemble my sources (not that I want to do development on the small LCD, but for fixing bugs in the field it's ok). So you may want to consider this mail as request :-)
