It's old school and all but, man that green and black is hard to look at. The real deals didn't have all that contrast going on so, it wasn't so painful. Maybe if a smear jello on my eyeballs it will be more realistic.

Here are the ProTERM 3.1 Global Macros I promised to support 115,200 baud Zilog SCC capability on the Apple IIGS built-in serial ports.

Please try them out and let me know of any problems, or if you feel I should expand the comments.

Just add these macros to your PT3.GLOBAL file (a text file) in place of the unused OPTION-'h' and OPTION-'H' macros and try them out.

OPTION-'h' resets everything to the ProTERM defaults (110 - 57600 baud), while OPTION-'H' kicks the serial ports into 115,200 baud mode.

I've attempted to make these 'user friendly'. For example, a message describes what is about to happen and allows you to cancel before invoking the 'guts' of the macro.

If your Modem hardware setup is not for one of the built-in IIGS serial ports, you'll get a message informing this, and the macro is cancelled.

P.S. - As soon as I get a positive report back on my patch to allow the Super Serial Card to communicate at 115,200 baud from within ProTERM, I'll add it to this same macro.

P.P.S. - In ProTERM, all items within * * are comments.

...another cat is outta the bag.

As I pushed the button.. what came on iTunes ...

Two by two walking hand in hand
(Walking through the air)
The bones start marching from the promised land
(Comes from everywhere)
Their voices carry like the sound of glass
(Breaking on the ground)
It burns my ears when they sing, "Everything you do is wrong!"
Everything!
Everything you do is wrong!
Not the same man I was before! (Same man, oooh)

I am checking-in as well. I am making a load of disks for Dan Wallace who uses the Internet at his local library, and believe it or not, is still using the Apple II as his primary computer without flash drives or anything. In this day of QUAD CORE XENONS and all those other toys that spoil us all, it is cool to correspond with someone that sends me neat and rare stuff on floppy like we did back in the BBS days.

For Dan as well as for me I was just checking-in as I say, to grab ProTERM. My life is crazy too, so I’ll check back a little later in the month and see what Tony hath wrought:) Sorry but not waiting anxiously. But will be happy when you are ready…

Cheers,

Sorry for the delays - in a bid to "get it right" and personal issues getting in between, I just crashed on time and availability.

I'm looking at getting it over with this week now.

Thanks for the interest.

Thank you to everyone involved!

Scott

Thanks!

I'm having a tough time determining which CFFA card solution to purchase. There's at least three manufacturers, and the price points are all the same. I'm leaning towards the Focus drive, with System 6.0.1 installed.

Looking forward to reconnecting with the Apple IIGS and fellow Apple II users...
