Has anyone ever installed ZMP on an Apple //e using a PCPI Applicard and Super Serial Card (or AE SerialPro)? Better yet, is there a ready-made overlay for it? I have been trying to write my own overlay. Actually, I lifted most of the modem in-out-status routines directly from the QTERM patch for the Apple. By the suggestion in the doc, I put the 'ret' in the init routine so I can ignore it while I get the main routines working. When I run it, ZMP puts up its title scree (proving that the gotoxy works) and then hangs up. Actually, it seems to jump back to the CCP (ZCPR3) without properly resetting the screen output. The result is, that I type characters and they get built up in the command line buffer, but nothing happens until I reset the Apple (performs a somewhat stronger warm boot). Then all the pending characters are displayed as if they had been typed at the system prompt (with returns and such which tries to invoke non-existant programs and the like). It doesn't appear to even get as far as loading any of its overlays. Can anyone help and shed light on this problem? Thanks. John D. Baker ->An Apple ZCPR3 nut // [STILL waiting for my CardZ180 :-( ] PS. ZMP appears to send/receive a char to my serial port (SerialPro) as evidenced by the RD and SD lights on my modem. It also appears to flash the switchhook as evidenced by a click from the modem's speaker. I got all the routines installed except the ones to set the parameters of the serial port.

When I fix my CP/M machine, I'll have a look through the sources and see if I can see what's happening. ....Ron -- =============================================================================== Internet: Murray_RJ@cc.curtin.edu.au | "You can lead a horse to ACSnet: Murray_RJ@cc.cut.oz.au | water, but if you can Bitnet: Murray_RJ%cc.curtin.edu.au@cunyvm.bitnet | get him to float on his UUCP : uunet!munnari.oz!cc.curtin.edu.au!Murray_RJ | back you've really got Amateur Packet Radio: VK6ZJM@VK6BBS.#WA.AUS.OC | something" TCP/IP: 44.136.204.14, 44.136.204.19 | -- Murphy's Law I ===============================================================================
