Re: STAMP command specs?

Rob,

The short answer is No.  The long answer is that it is all there in the 
QBasic code.  I just looked at the TN-46.  Most things are there.  You just 
have to look at the QBasic code and the stamp code to see how things are 
done.  Note that there are registers on the stamp board that the stamp uses 
to set up paths to do particular things.  So to get a particular pulse, you 
first load a register which sets up the line that the pulse comes out on, 
then you make a pulse.  It is a little complicated.  I have to sit there 
with the stamp code and the logic diagram to do anything.  Then I write 
QBasic code.  But there are examples of anything you might want to do in 
the QBasic code because I have written little tests for almost 
everything.  I do not claim it will be easy.
