A few days ago someone asked if the Laser 128 is a //e or //c clone. Every now and then the Apple magazines publish little programs that check certain memory locations in ROM. On Lasers the programs state that they are Enhanced //e's. Hope this helps. David R. Brierley davidbrierley@lynx.northeastern.edu

On the subject of "What is a Laser128?"more or less; Has anyone had any success with any decent comm programs on the Laser128? Kermit 3.82 crashes on mine as soon as I tell it to connect. I want to download programs, obviously, as well as log onto the mainframe IBM at my job. Any help will be appreciated, because I especially don't want to get a program that costs money, and have it also crash on me. Thanks. ------- THOMAS K.

Thanks. /// you have to use a serial board definition other than the "Super Serial Card" for kermit to work. Microtek i think is the one that worked for me. I own a Laser 128 and use Kermit 3.86, with few to no problems. My personal feeling is IIe, and I beleive that's what's stated. Anthony J. Stuckey stuckey@ux1.cso.uiuc.edu

Try ProTERM. Current version is 2.2, and is about $70 or so. Well
worth the money. Loads of emulations and transfer protocols.

I know that ProTERM v2.2 (the latest version) is able to run on a Laser 128. This piece of software is not PD though, it's commercial. It is published by InSync software and can be purchased through many mail order companies in inCider or Nibble. You should really consider this term program, since it is one of the better ones available for any II.
