1.7 Getting Started

For those simply wishing to get started as soon as possible, I’ve put the basic installation and operating

instructions in Appendix G.

1.8 Note on the Author

Before you, the reader, complain that the program doesn’t appear to behave exactly as you would like,

or lacks some essential feature, please bear in mind that I’m only a hobby programmer with an interest

in the HC908 chips. I’m not working in a commercial environment. The upside of this is that the

program is freely available, although I would of course much appreciate being told of any proposals

or criticisms you may have. Let me know at john.beatty@virgin.net

1.9 Origin of the program logo

You may wonder why the program has a bundle of dynamite sticks as its logo. Of course, after you

have used it for a bit, you may not wonder - but the simple explanation is this: when Motorola (as was

before spinning Freescale off) introduced the QT1/QY4 series of HC908 processors they named them

‘Nitron’. It was about then, in October 2002, that I began development of an interface with the HC908

monitor ROM program, and I called it NitroMon. This word sounded to me as though it had explosive

connections, hence the logo. Motorola/Freescale subsequently dropped the ‘Nitron’ tag and I had to

come up with another name for the interface program, and so ‘Xplor8'.

1.10 An Appeal

Xplor8 has a large number of features, and may take a little time to set up. New users are advised to

follow the Getting Started section in Appendix G, and to follow the Quick Tour so as to get a feel for

the program.
