From: Keith Petersen <w8sdz@brl> Bernie Eiben has given us a new overlay for MDM7xx for 3 different DEC machines that run CP/M-80. It was announced earlier as a part of the MDM7xx package available from SIMTEL20 in the MICRO:<CPM.MODEM7> directory as M7VT-2.ASM, but I felt that additional information might be of use to Info-Cpm readers. Here's an excerpt from the message he sent to me telling what he did. ---forwarded message--- From: B.Eiben LCG Ext 617-467-4431 <EIBEN at DEC-MARLBORO> To: w8sdz at BRL Subject: MODEM 714 Keith, I modified the VT180 overlay to be "general" in serving VT180 / Rainbow / DECmate II , the three DEC-micro's currently able to run CP/M and to "talk" to the outside world. This overlay supersedes the M7VT-1 one - we have currently three BIOS-versions out in the field - and above overlay would have necessitated heavy DDTing. I re-defined EXTCHR to be closer to KERMIT and redefined IGNORCTL to be able to run HOST-programs which require Cursor-Control.
