Excuse me but I need HELP!!!!
Wanted, apple IIe to TRS model 100 file transfer program. I wish to
transfer files from the model 100 to the apple for archival on the apple
disk drives and word processing on the apple.
Hardware used:
Apple IIe with Super Serial Card; Model 100 computer and
null modem.
Approach Tried:
1) Ensure apple and model 100 communications parameters are set properly.
2) Start an applesoft basic program which
a) Gets the file name
b) Does an IN#1 (Yes that is the right slot number)
c) Does an INPUT to input each line as it comes from the model 100
and save in an array of string variables (dim a$(10000)) one
line per element in the array.
( Worked except every line with a comma created an EXTRA IGNORED error)
or c) used GET to read one character at a time, concatinate it to the end
of a string, then at the end of the line, add this string to the
array mentioned above.
( Loses characters because the apple buffer overflows.)
d) When the transfer is complete, I saved the array as a text file on
the disk. I had to do it this way because the apple will not let
me open a slot for input and a disk file for output at the same time.
I have tried about 100 permutations of model 100 and super serial card
communication settings with mediocre results.
I used APPLESOFT basic (both interpreted and compiled)
What I need is:
1) STAT settings for the model 100 TERM program.
2) Dip switch settings for the Super Serial Card.
3) An applesoft Basic program which will read from the serial card
and store the results on the apple's disk.
Many Thanks,
