- We have a Videx 80-col card and a KBD-enhancer card for our Apple II.
- It seems that the 80-col card is eating ^A and ^K and using them for
- its own purposes. Can anybody help? Maybe we could fix it by making
- the input routine not go through the videx card. Anybody know how
- this is normally fixed?
-
- Thanks,
- Leigh.

- Now that I got my Softcard working properly I set out to configure
- my MINCE system, but I had a real rough time trying to define
- a new terminal type for the videx 80 column board. Then I decided
- to try out each of the standard terminal types offered, and what do
- you know, but 2 of them seemed to work perfectly!! The two were:
- the SOROC IQ120 and the ADM31 (not the ADM3A). What I'm wondering
- is:
- 1. Are there any differences between these two (particularly
- effeciency) that would recommend one over the other?
- 2. Are there any hidden incompatibilities between either of these
- terminal types and the videx videoterm?
- 3. What was I doing wrong when I tried to specify new terminal
- type (I copied the character sequences right out of the videx manual)??
- Alternatively, what are the sequences used by Mince when either of
- those terminal types is selected?

- The only reason the selection of IQ-120 works on your Videx is because
- the emulation table (set up by CONFIGIO.BAS) is already converting from
- SOROC to DATAMEDIA (the Videx). There is actually no similarity between
- actual Soroc codes and those of the Videx.
-
- If you were to NUL out the emulation table, you could then install the
- exact Videx codes and expect them to work.. There would be no real
- advantage to doing this that I know of except possibly a small improvement
- in display speed.
-
- There are, I believe, some minor differences in the handling of inverse
- between the Soroc and Datamedia, but I can't be specific.
