Using ZX-24a for development

Post by victorf »

I have several zx-24a devices left that I would like to use for system development to save a few bucks. Is this possible? I have not used them for a year or so. Can I still update the firmware?

Any enlightenment will be appreciated.

Yes to both questions. The discontinued devices are still supported by the compiler and we plan to publish VM updates for them as necessary to correct errors. The only distinction between discontinued devices and current production devices is that for the discontinued devices 1) we generally will not be adding new capabilities and, 2) we won't be producing more of them.
