The following UUencoded file contains RVERT212.BIN -- this is the driver for
using the Atari SX212 modem connected directly to the SIO daisy-chain. This
driver works with Kermit65 and 850 Express!; I am not sure (have not tried
it) whether it works with BobTerm. In essence, it makes the SX212 on the
serial daisy-chain "look like" the SX212 connected via the Atari 850 Interface
Module's serial port.
Download this file (with ASCII -> ATASCII translation!), UUdecode it with
YAU.COM posted previously, and you will have the file RVERT212.BIN. You may
use this in several ways:
1) LOAD it, from DOS, before loading your favorite terminal-program.
2) Make a COPY of this file, then COPY/APPEND a copy of your terminal
program onto this file. (This has the same effect as method (1) - it loads
RVERT212.BIN before loading your terminal software - but this latter method
causes DOS to do the two loads FOR you.)
*** NOTE! *** In order for either of these two methods to work, your terminal
program must NOT already have an R: device handler in the same load-file
(some distributions of 850 Express!, for example, have had Atari's standard
"R:" device handler prepended to the actual term program). If your term
program still won't talk to the SX212-on-the-serial-daisy-chain after you've
pre-loaded RVERT212.BIN, you may have such a situation. The already-attached
handler may be removed and replaced by RVERT212.BIN, but the details are
beyond the scope of this introduction.

Hello. Chris F. Chiesa had a question regarding if RVER212.BIN would be compatible with BOBTERM 1.2O. When you receive your BOBTERM 1.2O ARChived diskette, there will be handlers on it for users of the Hayes compatible modems; xm3o1/1o3o; MPP; and the SX212. Therefore there is no need to worry if this handler, RVER212.BIN, will work with BTERM as BTERM already provides a handler. Metalist@cup.portal.com

By which I HOPE you mean to imply a handler for the SX212 specifically for the SIO-bus connection mode? You didn't specifically SAY that, but if not that, there'd be no REASON to have an "SX212 handler." BY THE WAY, Bob Puff just noted on his BBS that he "seems to have trashed the VT52 emulation" in BOBTERM 1.20. He adds that he'll fix that in 1.30 but that 1.30 won't be out for several months at least. Be aware. Chris Chiesa Chris_F_Chiesa@cup.portal.com

From article <30359@cup.portal.com>, by Chris_F_Chiesa@cup.portal.com: > > By which I HOPE you mean to imply a handler for the SX212 specifically > for the SIO-bus connection mode? You didn't specifically SAY that, but > if not that, there'd be no REASON to have an "SX212 handler." You are correct. The handler that came on my copy of BOBTERM V1.1 works just fine with my SX212 plugged directly into the SIO port. While we are on the subject, I have a question that maybe someone can answer. No documentation comes with the SX212 handler and I didn't think anything about it until I also used it with a copy of OMNICOM. There, while it is loading a screen comes up briefly that says it is a shareware program and gives a name and address in Florida. Sorry, I forget his name and the information is at home. Does anyone know if Bob Puff sends a portion of the money he receives for BOBTERM to him? If not, I would like to send him one since I couldn't live without the handler.

Hey there! >As my good buddy on Portal pointed out, a handler for the SX212 is already >provided with BOBTERM 1.2O for the Sx212 modems. I hope you mean this hand- >ler is for the SIO connection,.... yes, I am sure it is for the SIO connected Sx212. If a person connects ANY Hayes Compatible modem to his Atari via the 850 interface, he simply needs to use the RHANDLER which boots the 850 and handles the modem. Only users of the SIO connected SX212 need to worry about specific handlers. Glad he did not buy a Sx212, BJW
