Message-ID: <C7r1C1.JHA@nmrdc1.nmrdc.nnmc.navy.mil> Organization: Naval Medical Research & Development Command References: <1u5f70$hvd@agate.berkeley.edu> Date: Fri, 28 May 1993 18:14:24 GMT Lines: 15 The Colorado "Jumbo" is not trivial to write for. 1) There is more than 1 version of the "Jumbo", each with different requirements. 2) It operates with rather DOS-ISH timming-loops, rather than being nicely interrupt driven.
