Before following the steps in the next chapter, you should first install the SX-Key/Blitz interface on
your computer’s hard disk.
The SX-Key/Blitz Interface consists of the integrated editor, programmer, and debugger software. The
following system requirements are a minimum for using the SX-Key/Blitz Interface:
• 80486 (or higher) IBM or compatible PC;
• Windows 95 or higher operating system;
• 64 Mb of RAM;
• 3 Mb of available hard drive space;
• CD-ROM drive, or access to the Internet;
• 1 available serial port.
To install the SX-Key/Blitz Interface:
1. Insert the Parallax CD-ROM in an available CD-ROM drive.
2. Use the CD's automatic browser to navigate to the Software section.
3. Expand the SX-Key & SX-Blitz folder.
4. Select the 18/28/48/52-pin SX chips (SXKey.exe) item.
5. Click on the Install button.
6. When prompted for the type of installation, select “Typical” in order to have the software installed
in the “Programs\Parallax Inc\SX-Key v2.0” folder. Select “Custom” when you want to change the
default installation options, like the installation folder.
7. After the setup has finished, you will find a shortcut on the desktop, and a new “Parallax Inc”
program group in the Start menu.

available. One has a size of about 1.2 MB, and the other one of 4.6 MB. When you use the smaller one, it
is necessary to have an Internet connection active while installing the software. Select any folder where
the downloaded file shall be stored, and then run “Setup_SX-Key_Editor.exe” from this folder.
