[net.micro.apple] Wanted --- Apple ][e termcap

	Does anyone have a termcap entry for an Apple ][e running
	the extended memory, 80-col card?  Please mail directly to
	me (I imagine this is the nth time someone has requested this.)

	Also, someone complained in private mail that the above card
	is too slow for effective 1200 baud use.  Does anyone else
	have any experience with this card at 1200 baud?  I
	briefly glanced at the Rom listing for the card and it does
	look slow for page scrolling.

#
# Apple //e with 80-column card
# The modem interface is permitted to discard LF (maybe DC1), otherwise
# passing characters to the 80-column firmware via COUT (PR#3 assumed).
# Auto-wrap does not work right due to newline scrolling delay, which also
# requires that you set "stty cr2".
# Note: Cursor addressing is only available via the Pascal V1.1 entry,
# not via the BASIC PR#3 hook.  All this nonsense can be avoided only by
# using a terminal emulation program instead of the built-in firmware.

Yes, interrupts are locked out for too long and characters can be lost
during scrolling.  This is a bug in the firmware and can only be
avoided by using your own 80-column code that is more careful about
the duration of "critical regions".
