Looking for tips on using FILINK.COM to send to S-100 unit, with error checking. Anyone have data on the protocol used? I can dump 7-bit ASCII with TERM>COM, but cannot move 8-bit stuff that way. Thanks in advance for comments. Eric

FILINK.COM is a protocol developed by Epson and is thus far available nly on the Geneva and the QX-10 (it may still not be available for the latter machine). We have promises of a generic FILINK program for CP/M-80, but in the meantime, I modified Modem2. Recently others have done likewise with MDM7 (both a MDM7 overlay and a modified MDM7 called EPXMD3.COM I think) and David Kozinn is working on a MEX overlay. The files are available in the CP/M sig on Compuserve, or you can send me a blank tape if you want a copy of MODEM2. -Charlie

The Qx-10 version of FILINK.COM does exsist... I've used it on many occasion
at work... Also, on the utility floppy (comes with the PF-10 disk drive)
are copies of EPPXMDM.COM (Modem7 for the Geneva) and documentation...
but these two files are strangely not ever even acknowledged on the
'List of Software Utilities' tha t is in the manual... This has been
on every Utility Disk I have seen...
