| Apr 14 at 18:44 | comment | added | scm | @NoelWhitemore yes, I've been there... I'm pretty sure their version for 8k basic is 4.0, mine is 3.2.. but I have verified that the .wav file I made passes checksum tests on all the packets... I'm writing code right now to patch in my IO port addresses (can't use basic's existing code for port configuration)... and so the big test will be to just run it and see if it works. | |
