README.TXT file for the Industrologic, Inc. SBC-1

This disk) contains the following software for the Industrologic, Inc.
SBC-1 Single Board Computer. The latest version of these files can be
found on Industrologic's web site: http://www.industrologic.com


1. Windows based software development and terminal program (TERMSBC1.EXE)

   Description: This is a simple RS-232 terminal emulation program
   for the SBC-1 that has both ASCII upload (for BASIC programs) and
   Xmodem CRC upload (for binary files created with assemblers or
   compilers). BASIC language programs can be created using a quick link
   to a Windows text editor, and then easily uploaded with this program.
   Requirements: 32 bit Windows operating system
   Installation: Copy program to the desktop or to a folder.
   To run: Start, Run, Browse (to find program where you put it), OK


2. DOS based software development program (SBCHOST.EXE)

   Description: This program has several functions that make it easy to
   create, upload, and debug programs for the SBC-1: A text editor,
   RS-232 terminal emulation, and ASCII or XMODEM upload and download.
   Requirements: DOS 3.0 or later     
   Installation: Create a directory on your hard disk. (Windows users
   please note: Directory names anywhere in the directory path that
   exceed 8 characters will prevent SBCHOST from finding the sample
   programs in your directory!)
   Copy SBCHOST.EXE to this directory.
   Copy your sample programs to this same directory!
   To run: Type SBCHOST and hit the Enter key

3. Example TinyBASIC programs for SBC-1 (*.BAS)

   Requirements: SBC-1
   Installation: Copy to the same directory as the development program.
   To run: Upload into SBC-1 using development program.
   Note: These programs will run only on the SBC-1

4. Example machine language program for SBC-1 (*.ASM and *.BIN)
   Requirements: SBC-1
   Installation: Copy to the same directory as the development program.
   To run: Upload MACHINE.BIN into SBC-1 using the development program.
   MACHINE.ASM is the source code example.

5. Examples programs from the book "Programming and Interfacing the
   Industrologic SBC-1 Single Board Computer". (These programs are provided
   on this disk to eliminate the requirement of an addition disk for those
   who purchase the book. Knowledge of how to use these programs may require
   the book.)

   The requirements, installation, and running of these additional TinyBASIC
   programs are the same as for the TinyBASIC programs listed above.
   The assembly language programs will require an 8051 assembler program
   and knowledge of assembly language programming.
