Friends, I'm trying to bring MDM730 up on a Franklin ACE 1200 in the CP/M mode. Unfortunately the Franklin-provided literature is not very complete. In discussing the serial interface card, it describes several calls you can make to get a character from the serial port or send a character to the port ... but that is NOT enough for practical purposes! I need the actual memory address of the send and receive port (should be the same), and more important - the masking values that I use to determine if (1) a character has been received, and (2) if the send buffer is clear and ready to receive a character for a send. I have values for various Apple serial cards, but ALL are just a wee bit different - don't really want to try trial and error: so inelegant! Once I get this rascal up, I'll post the MDM7nn overlay on INFO-CPM and INFO-MODEM7 (I think), and will let you all know too if interested.
