Hi!

The prototype software for the prop jupiter ACE is included in Propforth 3.4

http://code.google.com/p/propforth/down ... SEPT05.zip

This version runs on a prop demo board or similar (VGA pinout and keyboard pinout), but uses most of the main memory resources. There is still about 4k to play with.

Two cogs are displayed on the VGA window, the serial terminal is still active to PC or attached device.

See discussion on Parallax forum for current information

Thanks for the cool write-up!

If you get a chance to experiment, the words for changing the screen colors and cog assignments are in Hiresvga.f. Also words for changing active cogs (that is, >cog >vga0 >vga1)

Sal says running routines in one window and monitoring them from another cog on another window quickly becomes indispensable. He uses both VGA, the serial terminal and the ethernet terminal simultaneously to examine running routines. Ethernet support, Low Res VGA are on top of the list for next release, but he has found the additional displays so useful that he might include TV support (for text only).

Please let me know if you hear of any experiment results. I am too busy with the new job to play...
