I have downloaded kermit v2.2 again from Q-link and can get it to work with the
C-64 80 column screen. However, because I have an 80 column monitor and a
C-128D computer, I would like to use the C-128 screen driver. My problem is
that in connect mode, characters like 'A' and 'D' are not echoed to the screen.
This is a system with nothing connected via the joystick ports. Previous
replies to an earlier post suggested that this was a local echo problem; this
is not the case as echo is on. Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Scott Kajihara

A quick check on my logic analyzer showed what appeared to be two competeing keyscans occurring, one being the C64 kernel's and the other a RAM-based routine, presumably Kermit's C128 driver. Why it appears to affect only key row 2 (A,D,G...) I don't know. If I can get the source code from Ray or Kent (and I have time :-) I'll look into it further. -- Fred Bowen uucp: {uunet|rutgers|pyramid}!cbmvax!fred arpa: cbmvax!fred@uunet.uu.net tele: 215 431-9100 Commodore Electronics, Ltd., 1200 Wilson Drive, West Chester, PA, 19380

The source code also includes a history-log of all the people that have made this program possible upto the latest version, 2.2. Sincerely, Scott K. Stephen

Hi guys-- (and whomever else may be having this problem) I am the author of the C-64/128 Kermit v2.2 manual and have been involved in its development and testing from the beginning. I have *never* seen this problem except when something was plugged into one of the joystick ports, and I use a C-128D regularly with Kermit v2.2 (like now!). Kermit has been tested and used on a wide variety of C-64/128 configurations, and all have behaved as expected... Are you SURE nothing is funky about your setups? What kind of modems are you each using? I use a Supra 2400 now, but used to use a CBM 1670. Send me mail if you would like to discuss this further.
