[comp.os.cpm] Kermit-80 for a Xerox 16/8

olmiller@LUDWIG.SCC.COM (Otto Miller) (10/23/88)

A little background info...  I am posting this request to both
info-kermit and info-cpm since I am not sure where my problem is.
I have installed several variations of unix c-kermit and now I am
ting to install cpm-80 kermit.

The specifics; I am using a Xerox 16/8 (5.25" floppy + HD).  Since
the hart of the 16/8 is a Xerox 820 (like) board I used the sys-dep.
overlay for the Xerox 820 (cpvxer.hex) with the sys-indep. (cpsker.hex)
hex file to generate the .com file.  All went well up to this point.
The problem appears when I connect...  I get nothing out the serial
port!  I looked at the source to see if port B was used, but everything
points to port A.  I have been unable to hang a protocol analyzer
to confirm no output, but when I hang a known good modem on the port
I get nothing... not even garbage.  WHAT's WRONG?

Any and all help, pointers, etc. with constructive flames are solicited.
PLEASE email directly to me in that I am not on regular distribution
for this group; Thanks.  Thank you in advance for all the help.
