I am in the process of building a 'real' serial port for my Color
Computer based on the schematics for Radio Shack's RS232 Program Pak
that they sell. My port should 'look' the same to the machine, and
as i am also writing my own terminal software to utilize hires graphics
to create an 80 column display. My software will also emulate, to some
extent, a VT-100 terminal. Because i am doing this from top to bottom,
i would like to obtain some alternate terminal software to test the
port itself.
Anyway, i need to find some terminal software that uses the RS232
Program Pak to talk to the outside world in order to 'test' my port.
I have heard about _MikeyTerm_ 3.5, but cannot find it. If anyone
has it, or knows where i could find somthing similar, i would REALLY
appreciate it. If you have something like this, get in touch
with me (see address below) and we can arrange some method of transfer.
If you know of a commercial program, let me know whom to contact.
Lastly, as i drew my schematics for my port from the schematics in
the service manual of the RS232 Prog Pak, i do not think i can give
mine to anyone. If/when i ever get my software up and running, i may
be willing to distribute it. If you are interested, get in touch.
