I am trying to use an SSM serial interface card (note: NOT the Super-Serial card!) on an Apple II+ CP/M system with a Diablo 630 printer. The card works fine from Applesoft BASIC but if I try to go into CP/M, the system freezes up. I have tried two CP/M cards, and the same problem occurs with both. I have tried both MicroSoft 60k CP/M and the 10MB Sider hard drive's 60k CP/M, and the problem occurs with both CP/Ms here too. My slots are configured as follows: 0 16k expansion card 1 SSM serial interface card (to Diablo 630) 2 Apple-Cat II/212a modem 3 Viewmax-80 80col/lowercase 4 MicroSoft-Compatible CP/M card 5 EMPTY 6 Floppy controller 7 10MB Sider controller If I put the serial card in slot #5, I can use CP/M but it will not send anything to the printer -- I suppose this is because CP/M expects the printer to be interfaced to slot #1. Is there any way around this problem, or does anyone know any possible configuration that will let me use the Sider's CP/M with a Diablo 630 on the SSM serial card? -drew MOORE%MIT-EECS@MIT-MC.ARPA (please send replies directly; I am not on info-cpm/-apple) -------
