[comp.sys.m6809] More Modem Cartridge headaches....

RK5RSANU@MIAMIU.BITNET (RandyLerxst Kaelber) (05/27/90)

First of all, I want to thank everyone who sent me E-mail regarding my
problems with the Modem pack I detailed three weeks ago.
 
Well, now I STILL have a problem. I took everyone's advice and wrote the
whole bloody terminal program in Assembler. I use a BASIC driver for it
to set up my parameters, but once a carrier is detected, the assembler
program takes over and holds control until I press SHIFT-CLEAR. Alas, I
still have the same problem. The moment I mess with the Modem's registers
to send or receive data, the cartridge's terminal program takes control,
just as though I had issued an EXEC &HC000. What can be the problem? I do
call two BASIC routines (POLCAT and CHROUT), could that be the problem?
I masked all interrupts (except NMI ;} ) like the manual said to. If anyone
requests it, I will send my source code to help. Once again, thanks to all
you 6809ers out there!

Have you tried opening the case on the moded and removing the ROM from it?
That works well on the RS-232 Pak to allow you to use it on a CoCo III under
OS9.
