If you enclose text in quotes, you can type anything in response to an=20
Input statement.  Take a normal input:

10 INPUT "ENTER TEXT";A$

Normally you can't type commas or colons here.  But if the user now=20

All that text except the double quotes is put into A$.

What I did one time is put two quotes into the keyboard buffer, and turn=20
on 128 auto-insert mode.  Then a user can type anything they want within=20
the quotes.  Except a quote, of course.

 I still have DIGISPEECH or something like that which was published in De=

Here's something I found out by accident... I use my mouse in port 1 for=20
GEOS, and one time I forgot to unplug my mouse and put the dongle in for=20
C-Kit, but the mouse fooled the program. I think it only checks for the=20

something to do with reading certain SID registers, which leads me to=20
believe there's probably just a resistor in the dongle to create a load=20
on the SID to change the TTL state.

Then again, I could be way off base here... B-)

   I have the same setup. To enable xon/xoff in Desterm, go to the
Protocol Settings menu (From the CTRL/RS main menu) and select Xon/Xoff.
Set it to "yes" then save the setup in the Defaults Menu.=20
   To set your Bocamodem to use XON/XOFF instead of RTS/CTS (the default)=

enter this in command mode: AT&K4
   You can put that in your Desterm's intialization string, or you can

   When I use my 128, I use 38.4k baud and Desterm with no problems.

Specifically, the license grants the use of C-Kit on ONE computer system,=
=20
except in the event the main computer system is down, in which case it=20
may be run on a backup system. And you are allowed to make only one=20

It's my opinion that there's more copy-protection imbedded in the program=

besides just the dongle. When I first booted up and wanted to go straight=

G'day,

My 1541-II has been dead for a few years, and I think its the head that i=

and the shop fixed it, but trying to find a C=3D shop is *very* hard nowa=

)

Is there a simple way to fix such a prob?

Thanks..

(Or if the drive is a gonner, does anyone know where to get all four of t=

Last Ninja games from for an emulator?)
