I need some assistance from a Kermit expert in getting a properly assembled and loaded Kermit for my Kaypro1. I have all the asm files, and have tried to reassemble the machine dependent code to come up with a working Kermit. I find that if I try to download a file in excess of 116 packets, the Kermit cannot swallow the code at the same time it is writting to the disk. The error displayed on the screen is: ?unable to rec data Failed B0 KERMIT >> I am using version 4.05 of Kermit, and have C-Kermit in our base VAX down- loading files. As long as file size is small enough, the program does fine. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated. Paul Pullen Vax Address : pvpullen@CRDEC.ARPA

Try setting setting Kermit's buffer size down to 8 or 4 K. CP/M Kaypros have very slow disk i/o, particularly writes. It actually writes each physical (512 byte) sector 4 times! The ROM enhancements (e.g. Advent TurboROM) eliminate this. The TurboROM actually provides 4 times faster writes and 2 times faster reads. Jeff Wieland abp@j.cc.purdue.edu
