- MD730C64 is a version of Irv Hoff's MDM730 modified for
- the Commodore 64. If you are unfamiliar with MDM730, you can
- get a detailed description from the file MDM730.DQC in the
- library MDM730.LBR. This version works with the Hayes 300
- Smartmodem, the VICmodem and probably any other modem that
- connects to an RS-232 port. With the Hayes, you can use the
- auto dial features of the program.
-
- MD730C64 will work ONLY with a 44k (or smaller) Commodore
- 64 CP/M system. The RS-232 buffers and a character translation
- table are located in the "extra" 4k. If you try to work with
- a 48k system, the program will crash.
-
- Please note the following:
-
- 1. Ctl-W (not Ctl-T) is used to start an ASCII file transfer
- in terminal mode.
- 2. The program is currently set for pulse dialing with a
- Haye's Smartmodem. If you have touch tone dialing, patch
- location 105H to be an ASCII 'P'. It is currently a 'T'.
- 3. There is no cursor when you are in terminal mode. (You'll
- get used to it - honest!)
- 4. The program has been tested at 300 baud. Because of
- the interaction between the two processors, it may need
- more work to run correctly at 1200.
-
- This is an initial release and I would sincerely appreciate
- hearing from you if you use the program. Modifying MDM730 for
- this computer was painful because of the way the C-64 handles its
- RS-232 port. It has been thoroughly tested but it is
- a very complex program and there may be problems remaining simply
- because there are combinations of functions that I am not aware of.
- Please let me know if you incover any. I'd also like to hear from
- you if you use it and don't have problems. When I have enough
- confidence in the program, I'll release the source code for
- the overlay.
