The problem with file transfer between a DEC Rainbow and another CP/M system is that the Z80 side of the Rainbow doesn't have any access to the status of the communications port, so it can't run any of the versions of MODEM or MDM. I have hacked together a version of YAM on the 8088 side that works to/fro most of the MODEM/MDM/YAM variations at up to 9600 baud. This is public domain software, thanks to Chuck Forsberg; was published here a few months ago; and I will be happy to down-load it to a RBBS or can make other arrangements on request. The Rainbow is just an expensive desk ornament without YAM. Mel Haas , houxm!mel
