Subject: Cardco Secret Command _ My Problem is Solved!
I talked to Cardco the interface people about the upper/lower case
problem I was having with the RX-80 and Cardco G.
Apparently, they left out a rather important set of addresses in their
interface lock command. The lock command they supplied in their manual
locks the interface in upper case mode:
OPEN4,4,25:CMD4:PRINT#4:CLOSE4
To lock the interface in an upper/lower case mode the following "missing
from the manual" command has to be used:
OPEN4,4,27:CMD4:PRINT#4:CLOSE4 or OPEN4,4,28 ... if you need
line feeds
The key is the address 27 or 28 in the open statement.
If you happen to be using Compute Gazette's Speedscript text processor,
type the following before loading the program:
OPEN4,4,28:CMD4:PRINT#4:CLOSE4
That'll lock the interface in upper and lower case mode, plus you won't
have to stick the reverse "a" at the top of each file for ascii conversion.
Not only that, but you'll be able to use all your non-Commodore printer
functionality.
