Hi Folks,

I have an program dev't. on an old f68hc11 board from NewMicros, that just bit bangs and runs ther serial port, and I would very much like to port it to the less expensive 8031 board.

I quess all I have to do is purchase the 8031 board, load the intel hex file that's the ported 3.5 Forth system, and then terminal in the old program.

I don't use any native assembler words, or anything that would be hardware specific except the pin I/O words I think...

Doable?

Possible a minor program modification is required for new I/O registers, code and varibles address for new hardware memory map. The differences are, The HC11 FORTH is internal and the 8051 FORTH does not have driver or WORDS that supports the EEPROM programming capability.
