PiFast has been developped on windows but is available on other platforms. It should be noted that on non-windows platforms, version 4.0 is not available yet but previous version 3.3 can be downloaded.

Download PiFast43 on windows : here.

Download PiFast33 on other platforms :
hpux 10.20 : pifast_hp.gz
irix 6.2 : pifast_irix.gz
aix 4.3.2 : pifast_aix.gz

Warning : unix platforms are known to have problems on the e computation in mode #1. The other modes work well.

The program was been written in 32 bit adressing space, so no more than 2 gig of memory should be used.
