Peter - Possibly the people posting in the string "load Instructions." have misjudged the typical SXB user. I am sorry I didn't see the thread but it doesn't matter because the stuff listed there is totally unusable to me, a typical user.

If one is a professional MCU programmer, chances are you're not using Parallax SX chips, you are using one of the cheap main stream products. This SX is a VERY niche focussed product.  We SX users are made up of hobbyists, people who do both hardware and software, inventors, geeks, robotics, puppeteers etc. Users don't have the attention span to spend hours battling to learn a complex protocol. They want to DO IT and they want to DO IT NOW!!!

This means "KEEP IT SIMPLE"

SX users don't understand the phrase "It's been tried before by the experts and it doesn't work". We come back to a topics and try a different approach (which is what I did). Virtual peripherals  is a good and powerful a feature, I say let's keep exploring it.

SX users also seem expect more feature than are listed in the spec sheet. (and I like this attitude) 

Kind regards
