Could someone please tell me what locations you tweak to set
the parity and data format. I am using an Super Serial Card
in slot 2. I want to be able to connect using 7E1.
7 data bits
1 stop bit
even parity
A friend who has a //c gave me a list of ctrl-I commands to
set the modem port, but my super serial card obviously doesn't
recognize them.
take care,
-Bri

Set switches SW1-5 and -6 to "on". (Now you're in communications mode.) Set 7 data bits by switching SW2-2 "off". Set one stop bit by switching SW-2-1 to "off". Set parity to even by setting SW2-3 to "off" and SW2-4 to "off". > A friend who has a //c gave me a list of ctrl-I commands to > set the modem port, but my super serial card obviously doesn't > recognize them. ctrl-I commands are intended for printer mode (they work for me just fine). What you probably want are communications mode commands which use ctrl-A: ^A1D sets 7 data bits, one stop bit. ^A3P sets even parity the ^A (ctrl-A) command string should be followed by a RETURN character. (If you want to send a ^A to the modem and out, just send ^A^A with no RETURN.) I used to write manuals in the Apple // division, and one of my last projects was a rewrite of the Apple IIe Technical Reference Manual. I moved much of the SSC manual information into the //e Reference manual (because I hate to have fifteen different books spread out on my desk when I wanted to work on the machine.) I think you can get the book now from any bookstore that carries computer books, I believe that Addison-Wesley publishes it. It might save you some time in the future, as well as frustration. seh
