Kermit 3.85 won't accept input from the GS keyboard (except the escape sequence!), and it won't allow me to "set keyboard 2gs".

I wonder WHAT you are doing to poor Kermit :-) Kermit-65 DOES work on a IIgs AND supports either "your card" or the IIgs port. It 'automagically' recognizes the IIgs (should have the keyboard set to IIgs for you). Which serial driver have you installed? Do you control panel settings conform to that driver?

Jeff,
I beleive you will have to build Kermit on your GS. Go back through the
process of execing it but set everything up for the GS. If you have the
.Install file you can just exec it on your GS and set everything accordingly.

I noticed that I am using the Super Serial card hex code, and was going to try to rebuild Kermit with the GS port code. --Jeff Stern -=- stern@cis.ohio-state.edu: Internet | "Eppur si muove." | osu-cis!tut!stern : UUCP | -Galileo |:->{===# | ` /

Hmmm...I set up my GS version of Kermit on an Apple IIe. I used the "Easy Install" and answered all the questions as if the install were a GS. The version worked fine on a GS. Guess the hardwire was closer to my IIe than it was to the GS. Ah, life when only a II existed. scott hutiner->macomb projects.wiu

Go back through the >process of execing it but set everything up for the GS. If you have the >.Install file you can just exec it on your GS and set everything accordingly. One way of having pretty strange problems is: BRUN KERMIT385 QUIT to APPLESOFT EXEC KER385.INSTALL and try to BRUN KERMIT385 on a system with different ROM's (even a //c, for instance, with an upgrade of the ROMs compared to the //c the INSTALL was done on). When KERMIT-65 is BRUN it picks up some ROM code from the system it's on. If that's the problem, then the only solution is to go back to the EZ Install EXEC's and start from the beginning. It IS possible to re-install KERMIT-65 for another Apple system, *** BUT *** it --> MUST <-- be done by: From Applesoft: BLOAD KERMIT385 EXEC KER385.INSTALL The BLOAD prevents BSAVEing unwanted (system dependent) ROM code with the altered KERMIT385. It IS possible to change the serial driver under ProDOS, but the .INSTALL exec doesn't work, so you have to do it all by hand (a challenge to your "manhood" <or its generic equivalent :->). BLOAD KERMIT385 EXEC KER385.xxx (where 'xxx' is the serial driver wanted) BSAVE KERMIT385,A$1000,L$6E00 You may also have to edit the KERMIT.INIT text file (I'm told that it CAN be down with AppleWorks *but* you have to take care that the saved file is an ASCII .TXT file, and not an Appleworks filetype).

Okay, Thanks for the explanation, Murph. --Jeff Stern.

>>Which serial driver have you installed? >>Do you control panel settings conform to that driver? > >Dear Murph: > I don't appreciate your sarcastic answer. Then: 1. Provide specific information with questions. "It doesn't work" hardly supplies much information upon which to diagnose a problem. 2. If you have a sensitive ego, don't use email to a list 'cause you're bound to light a flame thrower or two sooner or later. 3. When all else fails, read the documentation (the file APPLE.DOC from Columbia makes it PRETTY OBVIOUS that Kermit 3.85 does work on a IIgs, ergo you must not have it installed properly). Laziness causes sarcasm & you haven't actually seen me annoyed yet.
