BLOCKY : Incomplete handling of #slot stuff

[Buzby]

The #slot functions for 20X2 do not accept #slot 4.

The functions for 40X2 are limited to #0-3, but should go to at least #7.

@Buzby - Did you ever figure this out? I'm trying to use external I2C (#slot 4) with a 20x2, and the compiler is telling me "No, only slot 0"

@Buzby,

#slot - BASIC command
The 14M2, 18M2+, 20M2 parts 2 slots
It is the 28X2 & 40X2 chips that have the i2c slots 4-7
and the 08M2 & 20X2 are not listed as having more than the single slot 0.

Cross-posting this info here for people who find this thread first.

Slot #4 support on the 20X2 is in the beta-compiler, see : https://www.picaxeforum.co.uk/threads/pe6-1-0-0-slot-4-on-20x2-still-not-working.31110/

Thanks Buzby! That sorted the "Beta Compiler" issue ... I can now compile and download #Slot 4 from PE 6.2 ... woot!

I'll take my conversation back to the "active" forum. Thanks again!
