Do any of you fine people know of a program that will allow the Osborne 1 to emulate a VT100 terminal? I find that it is some- thing that I need, and I'm not even sure if it is possible. Thanks to all. -Steven Russell srussell@uoneuro.uoregon.edu srussell@uoneuro.bitnet

I just got my hands on a Xerox CP/M computer which I would like to use
extensively as a terminal. I've tried it out, assuming that it
emulates a VT52 (which I'm not sure about), and everything works fine
until I try to run vi or emacs on the remote machine. It doesn't seem
to handle full-screen editing. Does anyone have a clue as to what the
problem might be? Better yet, can this thing do VT100 or H19 emulation?
Any advice you can give this novice would be greatly appreciated.

Of course, I could be wrong, it's been awhile since I've played with my Ozzie...

Emacs wants them regardless. Oh, and the 820p is for UPGRADED ROM only since the generic 820-I does not support insert line/delete line. There are several places that sell Xerox upgrade ROMs. Hope this helps! -Mitch

As configured from the factory, the Osborne 1 would properly handle 300 and 1200 baud. Given the (stupid) architecture of the machine, even 1200 baud was pushing it if you were typing at any rate of speed. 19200 baud is theoretically possible but as that's the divide by one rate in the 6850 (sio chip), the characters that you get back are about half garbage. If you doubled the rate of the clock into the 6850, you could then get 600, 2400 and 38.5k baud, with the latter once again unreliable. There simply wasn't any excuse on Lee Felsenstein's part to design the machine the way he did.
