Subject: Re: Rainbow to anything else file transfer.

The problem with file transfer between a DEC Rainbow and another CP/M
system is that the Z80 side of the Rainbow doesn't have any access to the
status of the communications port, so it can't run any of the versions of
MODEM or MDM.  I have hacked together a version of YAM on the 8088 side that
works to/fro most of the MODEM/MDM/YAM variations at up to 9600 baud.  This is
public domain software, thanks to Chuck Forsberg; was published here a few
months ago; and I will be happy to down-load it to a RBBS or can make other
arrangements on request. The Rainbow is just an expensive desk ornament
without YAM.
