  The overlay for MEX (CP/M-80) says that the modem port
- presumably
 DTE - is 0D8H.  It does not mention the DCE port.  Do both processors
 share the same seriak and parallel ports?

2nd question first -- yes, the same ports are used regardless of the MPU.

1st question -- found some info in the 2nd manual under "programming data"
(I was looking for *hardware" data!):

2661 Serial A (Printer Port) 0E8-0EB
2661 Serial B (Modem Port) 0EC-0EF

Now I need to know exactly what the control and data addresses for these
ports are.  Maybe the first number is data and the second control, or the
other way around?  I'm not familiar with the 2661 -- any pointers?

Hey -- I'll bet Tony knows!

Thanks again,

Glen
