[comp.os.cpm] Xerox 820 serial port.

Hi, it's me again.

I have discovered a really dumb terminal program in the BDS-C compiler
distribution. It's called "telnet". I need specs on the Xerox 820 serial
ports (addresses, commands, etc). Actually, I need lots of specs on the
820-2 (yes, it's a -2... it beeps on self-test), but this will do for a
start.

Also...

Is there a disk copy command out there that copies more than 1 track at
a time? My wife is getting sick of hearing "klunk-klunk" 77 times every
time I copy something. A disk test program would also help...

Re: Xerox 820 specs.. Hmm.. i have that same BDS-C distribution.. somewhere i 
have specs.. noo.. guess not.. only thing i have on the 820 is a init porgram
that was distributed as a sample for Z80MU (an IBM CP/M Emulator. Very nice. get 
a copy today.)

Re: Quick Copy. Yes! There IS a copy program out there. its called QCP.COM it 
will grab the disk every 20 tracks or so. also works with 5" drives (there
is a considerable set of overlay files in the archive for darn near every 
S100 (and some non-S100) controller boards..  Only thing is, the code is
set up for copying from A: to B: and the source to the actual4 program is 
NOT distributed (although, with a good disassembler such as ZDis you can make 
a copy..)
