[net.micro.cpm] kermit/Osborne Executive

Woodie@DOCKMASTER.ARPA (Paul E. Woodie) (01/08/86)

I recently noticed a request on this mailing list for a version of
kermit to run on the Osborne Executive.  I have an Executive and tried
unsuccessfully to get several different cpm3 'generic' versions to run.
I don't know if my failure was due to equipment bugs in my particular
system, operator error on my part, or what.  In any case I finally got a
'generic' version from simtel20 written in turbo pascal.  That also (of
course) did not run completely on my system.  However, I modified it to
directly address the SIO ports instead of using the built-in AUX port of
the 'generic' versions.  Now it runs just fine.

I would be happy to share it with anyone interested.  I haven't so far
because I thought that maybe I had a flaky piece of hardware and my
problems were unique.
