There are 3 chips replaced when you upgrade from a IIe to an enhanced IIe: the ROM, the CPU (6502 replaces with 65C02), and the character generator (new one has 32 MouseText characters). Is it possible that you have the new ROM (explaining why you see "Apple //e" rather than "Apple ][" when you boot), but not the 65C02? It seems that the ROM would use the extra 65C02 instructions and crash quickly, but I haven't looked at the IIe ROM lately & don't have one here to check. When you say "I can't run software that requires an enhanced IIe," what exactly do you mean? What software doesn't work, and what does it do instead of working (crash, hang, complain with a particular error message, etc)? Could the software require 128K? (Is your 80-column card "extended" with the second 64K?) >last question: Are there other people having problem with exec'ing >down- loads of Kermit 3.84?

Sounds like the downloads are going perfectly but the VAX isn't using a Ctrl-M (Return) to separate lines. It's probably using just a Linefeed (Ctrl-J) or a Return followed by a Linefeed. For the file to EXEC properly, it needs to have just Returns between the lines. There are probably a lot of utilities around designed to fix up files like that one. I'd use Davex, since I wrote it & use it all the time. The 'tr' command would be the easiest way to search for and replace, for example, all ^m^j pairs with just ^m (or just replace ^j with nothing). Alternatively, if you don't have a utility handy on the Apple end, you could use a utility on the Vax end to change the line separators before downloading the file. 'grep' ought to do it if you're using Unix; use it to replace \n with \015 (octal 15 = decimal 13 = Ctrl-M = Return). >send replies >ATKINSON @ VCUVAX.BITNET, ATKINSON@RUBY.VCU.EDU >Thanks, >Luther --David A.
