- I hope someone with an Apple will reply to your message, but in case
- no one does, here's what I know:
-
- I don't think there are any "hidden incompatibilities" with either the
- SOROC or the ADM definition. The chances of there being any that were
- not found by the "test terminal" routine in Config are quite small.
-
- You can see what the sequences are by selecting the "edit definitions"
- entry in the Config main menu.
-
- The only possible source of an efficiency difference is if one
- terminal provides built-in clear-to-end-of-line, which will be a
- little faster than letting Mince do its own clearing by drawing
- spaces.

- Re: Disabling ctrl-A and ctrl-K on Videoterm 80 col. board

- Now that I have a keyboard enhancer to add to my Apple cpm system
- I find it a great inconvenience that the Videx videoterm 80 col.
- board swallows ctrl-A and ctrl-K characters (especially since these
- are 2 of my favorite commands in Mince).
- I called Videx and their only suggestion was to modify my
- Videoterm Firmware (supposedly they are sending me the description
- of how to do that). This seems like the cleanest solution, but it
- is non-trivial for me to implement since I don't know the first
- thing about writing proms, but it might be fun to learn. Does anyone
- have a device for writing 2708 eproms that I might obtain access to
- (I'm in central Mass. but make trips into Boston periodically)?
- Is this the kind of thing you can get a dealer to do for you?
- What alternatives are there for solving the ctrl-A/ctrl-K problem?
- In CPM is there some way to separate input and output functions so
- that output goes to the 80 column board but input bypasses it (going
- directly from Keyboard enhancer to CPM)??
- Any suggestions or comments greatly appreciated,
- Glenn
