- Subject: Kermit for Victor 9000 CP/M-86
-
- I just threw together an updated KERMIT for CP/M-86 running on the
- Victor 9000/Sirius, which I am forwarding to you. I doubt that anyone else
- is all that interested in a KERMIT for an obsolete operating system running
- on an obsolete machine, but I offer it just to make the archives more complete.
-
- This version is directly derived from the "current" (itself over a
- year old) CP/M-86 version for the DEC Rainbow, with only minor modifications.
- Like the Rainbow, the Victor uses a 7201 serial port controller, so the
- interface for the two machines is quite similar. I added a routine to allow
- the user to set the baud rate - I know it works at speeds up to 19200, but I
- have not tested it at 38400. I have not yet implemented a SET PORT command,
- but this could be done without a great deal of trouble if someone wants to do
- it. Currently the program drives only port "A". It should also be possible
- to incorporate the VT102 and Tektronix 4010 emulation available in the MS-DOS
- Kermit for the Victor, but that looked like more work than I wanted to take on
- just now...
-
- Victor users should note that the default "escape" character, ^\, can
- be generated by typing ALT-, (that's "ALT" and "," simultaneously), assuming
- the usual CP/M-86 Victor keyboard definitions are installed.

-
- This note will be followed by slightly modified versions of A86 and H86 files
- for KERMIT for the Victor 9000/Sirius under CP/M-86. This version is nearly
- identical to the one I sent to you about 3 weeks ago, and differs only in that
- the SET PORT command is now implemented, allowing the user to select either
- serial port "A" or "B" - "A" is the default. I hadn't originally intended
- bothering to add this feature, but a freak lightning strike knocked out the
- "A" port on one of the Victors in our department, and it was easier (and
- cheaper) to implement the SET PORT option than to fix the hardware.
