I cant get started REPLY

2005-12-21 by Ted Smith

Thanks for all your conflicting advices! I hadn't seen the link to the
Bascom Manual. Maybe I'll follow thwe C path once I get it going in basic.
I am doing it probably the hard but interesting way, building my own
development system hardware using the PC parallel port for programming
the chip (hopefully with PonyProg).

Re my age. Those of similar age to myself who looked up my profile
would have recognised the play on the title of the old jazz tune "I
can't get star-ted" by trumpeter Bunny Berrigan. I had a career in TV,
starting at TCN9 in 1957.
I was born in 1936 and named after the new King Edward VIII who much
to my Mother's horror maried a 'divorced person' and abdicated soon
after I was born.
In those days Australia was firmly a part of the British Empire.

I would be interested to hear from any older programmers still living!

Coincidently my wife was named Margaret Rosemary after the recently
born princess! Her mother didnt know she was decended from an Irish
convict on the first fleet!

Regards Ted Smith
