I actually keep an old Pentium-I machine running Win98 (the only full-time Windows machine in the house!) just for chip programming. Copy files to/from it if they were edited elsewhere, or just store them on the file server (the box has its own directory and uses a drive letter to share files via the Samba server) and VNC for controlling it. That way I have a little "chip programming workstation" on an old teletype desk and that machine and the various programmers and things are all on that desk. Works well. Once in a while a chip or small part falls through the desk, since it has paper slot and holes to route various teletypewriter cables, etc. Heh. And there I am digging around on the floor trying to find where it went... heh. I really should put a flat desktop on that desk, but it's so neat to have the old teletype placard and stuff showing that I can't bring myself to cover it up. :-) -- Nate Duehr, nate@natetech.com -- http://www.piclist.com hint: PICList Posts must start with ONE topic: [PIC]:,[SX]:,[AVR]: ->uP ONLY!
