[comp.sys.handhelds] 48sx Kermit

sqh@dhw68k.cts.com (Steve Hubbell) (07/08/90)

I recently purchased a Hewlett Packard 48SX Calculator (really
a computer) and I also bought the Mac interface cable to interface
it with my Apple IIGS.

I am using a program called Kermit-65 version 3.86.  I have had
no trouble sending both binary and text programs to my HP from
my IIGS using Kermit.

When I try and send programs from the HP to the GS, is when the
trouble starts.  The transfer goes fine right up until the end.
It seems that on the last packet of the transfer, the HP
immediately dies with a "Transfer Failed" (No retries) and
Kermit-65 seems to be waiting for more information.

If anyone has had a similar problem on another type of computer
or someone on the net has been able to successfully transfer with
an Apple II, I would love to hear how you did it!

Also, if someone knows the settings the 48sx expects for Kermit,
please send them to me.  I can adust Kermit-65's receive 
characteristics.

Thanks a lot...
