[net.micro.cpm] Kaypro help wanted: 7-bit even parity for sio

George.Wood@CMU-CS-A.ARPA (08/11/84)

Help!
	I am trying to help a friend set up modem7xx for his kaypro 2. The
problem is that the host he is connecting to demands 7 bit data
with even parity (?? stop bits). I have some documentation on
programming the sio, and have tried, to no avail, to set this
up. 
	Has anyone out there tried this, or does anyone know
the proper sequence of commands to send to the sio to accomplish
it?

I have the same problem (only with a Kaypro 10 and MEX rather than a
Kaypro 2 and MODEM7xx) -- i.e.  I have a host that insists on 7-bit even
parity (Honeywell Level 6, if you're interested).  I tried to fix the
overlay but it didn't work right - guess I'm not programming the SIO
correctly.  Anyhow, I'd appreciate a solution.
                              Thanks,
                              Bill
