Subject: Wanted: Kermit-80 Patch for Apple w/Premium Softcard IIe

     I am looking for a Kermit-80 (CP/M-80) overlay or patch that will
work on the Microsoft Premium Softcard IIe. The standard Apple CP/M
version of Kermit does not work with this card, since it was written
for the original Softcard which accesses I/O through the memory-
mapped locations in the Apple's memory. The Premium Softcard IIe
card contains its own memory and performs I/O through the 6502 micro-
processor using a 6502 BIOS program.

     Unfortunately, I am not fluent in 8080 assembly language, nor
do I have a "Premium Softcard IIe System Programmers Manual" that I 
could reference to construct a patch. Has anyone out there made this 
patch or know where I could find one? I am running CP/M Version 2.25
and have a Super Serial Card in Slot 2.

     This may be a common problem. I assume this problem also occurs
with the new Softcard II, since it also contains its own memory
onboard. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

                       Thank you in advance
