help with drip feeding R2E4
I'm exhausted.
I've already lost the evidence of who suggested I use CAMBAM. I tried it, and really (really!) like it. Andy provides great support, and the package works like a dream. But, like most "modern" packages, it presumes you have unlimited memory in the machine, and outputs things like pockets as a series of discrete blocks of code, rather than using the more compact canned cycles older machines had (for just that reason). I need CAMBAM -- it's just great, and makes GSimple look like a cludge. But I can't use it until I figure out how to dripfeed my R2E4. I cannot find a description of the Bridgeport DNC protocol anywhere. The port configuration isn't the issue, the issue is that there is a definite block protocol (that may include things like start characters, BCC characters, CRC characters, etc...) for the BOSS9 DNC. So far at least, Bridgeport has not responded to requests for information. Anybody else got a document? I can do the coding, I just have to know what to write. FWIW... all of the commercial DNC packages that have a trial version have so far failed to communicate with the R2E4, even if they have a BOSS entry in their machines list. Most don't even know what the protocols are, and expect you to set them up manually in an editor of some ilk. Thanks, LLoyd |
