I have just acquired an Apple /// and am thinking of using the /// as a terminal to log on to Unix on the Mac (direct connect). So I need to look for a terminal program that emulates the VT100 and supports preferrably Kermit file transfer. Now I have spent quite a lot of time working on CP/M on the Apple II and still have quite a few CP/M disks (but not term programs). I was going thru the Sun Remarketing catalog which has a SoftCard ///. Since the only Apple /// program that I know of that supports VT100 emulation is the Access ///, I'm really thinking of getting CP/M running on the ///. From what I know, SoftCard /// seems to be the same card as SoftCard for the II except that the OS is patched to work on the ///. Will I still be able to run Apple II CP/M programs (I mean use the same disks) on the ///? How much memory does Apple /// CP/M support since it sure addresses a lot more than the APple II. I believe I wouldnt be able to boot off an Apple II CP/M disks but hopefully I can run programs directly. Next is what comm program should I use? I've seen references to QTerm etc. And I vaguely remember names like CrossTalk (I wasn't into those things when I was using CP/M on the II). Thanx Calvin Cheng << The Best is Yet to Be! >>
