[DSP-10] DSP-10 software loading problem

[David Wrigley]

Hi All,

Well I tried loading with the switch "L" in the loader but no difference (
AMD 1.5GHz based PC)

So I tried making up a floppy and ran it in my old Intel 386 machine - guess
what,  it worked! -  and of course it was slow enough to be able to read all
the sceen info as it loaded.  The red LED is now "on" as you say after
loading.

I can't believe that it is just processor speed. I need to go back and do
some checking on what the crucial difference is - I'll let you know what I
find.

Many thanks to you all, for your help
- That indexed document source is good, Mike! - I've downloaded it and
modified the index page so that it works from my hard drive in any
directory. If any one wants the modified index page - let me know.

Regards

seems to run OK but there is no evidence of any communication with the DSP
board. - in fact the red light on the board has continued to flash since it
was first reset (prior to loading).
