Dear Net, I am trying to locate a copy of kermit for a Commodore PET running CBM for a friend. I ftp'ed to columbia university and did not find a specific version of kermit. Has someone used or modified the generic CPM kermit version? I might have to try to port it. Can someone recommend a way to port files from a IBM PC to a Commodore PET? I looked at the program UNIFORM that runs on a IBM PC to let you read and write CPM files, but does not support Commodore PET. Sincerely, Andy Internet: andyman@ei.ecn.purdue.edu PhoneNet: (317) 743-8705 does

I'm sure they have, but not for the PET - the PET does not run CP/M. It uses a 6502 microprocessor. : I might have to try to port it.

As a matter of fact, the disk format the CBM machines use are more sophisticated than an IBM controller can handle (or such is my understanding). If you really need to transfer files, use a Commodore 64 with 1541 and one of the many common terminal programs that support file transfers. :-) I've got some ancient PET terminal software but it tends to be highly machine specific and is difficult (at best) to use. ...
