Subject: Re Mark Zinzow's request for MicroBee Kermit
Yes CP/M Kermit does run on a MicroBee - a colleague of mine has one
and uses kermit betweem it and his PC. He warned that the only problem
he had found occurred when using the optional dual serial line (SCC)
ports on the memory card in place of the one on the mother board. In
this case there are 3 serial ports on the machine which confuses the
poor wee beasite - solution is to disable the single mother-board port
and then all performs well up to 38400 Baud.
There exists - somewhere in the vicinity of "Public Domain" - a program
called PC-Alien (incl PC-Alien Jnr and MSA) for reading foreign CP/M and
MS-DOS diskettes on ordinary PCs. This includes support for MicroBee
format 360KB diskettes and I have successfully used it for reading and
writing such.
