Morning all,
I thought I'd try and get the ol' Epson QX-10 running as a dumb terminal.
AFAIK, there's nothing on the 'standard' set of disks to do this (e.g.
valdocs has the 'mail' program which is aware of the serial port and which
I think can talk via a direct link rather than a modem - but I think its
functionality is all quite high-level and there's no 'terminal' mode).
So... MEX looks like a possibility, and an overlay for the QX-10 seems to
be available (although I'm not sure how much work is involved in merging
them yet). Does anyone know of any other options[1] which will work with
the QX-10's serial hardware? Or, does anyone happen to have a QX-10 enabled
version of MEX archived already?
[1] does CP/M abstract serial hardware into a set of common calls, or is
that outside its scope?
cheers
Jules
