- No, but in Volume 4 Issue 1 (I think) of The Transactor a terminal program
- for the SP9000 was included; I have Vol. 4 Iss. 2 and in the Transbloopers
- section they have the "tables that follow", which look a lot like everyone's
- favourite control/command setups for VIC/64 serial device 2. I have no idea
- how to use this, though.
- I believe a terminal program for the SP9000 was also included in their
- "Networking and Communications" issue (V6I3? can't recalll.) I'll look on the
- disk for this issue when I next get the chance.
