Finally, even if I could have been solving the problem - should I have? Perhaps the question that you answered was actually more interesting to me. Before asking for help, it's worth asking why other folks would offer to help - and what do they expect to get out of it.
I was at that level years before i put down money to Ryan on the problem, which was 11 years ago already. Collectively you all have put more time and effort into saying "no" or "why?" than doing it. It's as if you cannot see how connecting OE to Aibo, Spot, Marscat, or Unitree Go2 would draw some attention to OE/Phix on Youtube. Or an electric lawn mower.
I am confused because he couldn't do it, others either couldn't or simply haven't done it. You just gave some code, and then essentially said all it did was get a port name, but didn't make it useable, which makes it a waste of time. If all i want is a port name, i can randomly pick a word and call it that.
The Ultimate64 is a nix machine that runs CBM64 Basic code, but doesn't have the hardware ports to do the interfacing. This is the same as the wintel boxes i have plenty of, which also have vastly more speed and storage and display resolution, and run Phix/OE. So why would i pay more to have a Ultimate64 which won't do what i ask?
I do not expect you to remember i had a Redhat nix machine, bought already set up and supposedly running, with Mozilla installed, and other nix stuff, in the mid 1990's. I also attempted to install Redhat, and some other nix flavor, on an msdos machine. If i remember correctly, it was the first machine that did nothing but disk thrashing, and the 2nd one did nothing. I looked at the OE and nix on the raspi , and did not understand it, which makes it unuseable. I knew better than ask for help on this forum.
[example of real life vs online]
Now, see, i have an afternoon to do things. I cannot get you to build a device to get tires off rims online, and expect that to work for me in real life. If you wrote code that worked on interfacing the computer to real life, that's something i could then use in real life tonight. Only i can build the tire de/mounter, and only you can write the code. Ergo, i build the tire machine, and no one writes the code.
