- SLAVE
- (c) 1990 Atari Computers, Australia
-
-
- SLAVE was created for the single purpose of communicating with other
- computers with a minimum of effort.
-
- As a full-duplex serial communications program that supports the
- widely accepted X-Modem protocol, the only prerequisites are a
- serial interface for your Portfolio and a terminal program on your
- host computer.
-
- The communications parameters are preset at:
-
- 9600 Baud, No parity, 8 data bits, 1 stop bit.
-
- HOW TO USE SLAVE
-
- 1. Turn off Portfolio and plug in the serial interface.
-
- 2. Using a null modem adaptor and a serial cable, connect the
- interface to the serial port of your host computer.
-
- 3. Load a terminal program on your host computer and configure
- each of the communication parameters as outlined above.
-
- 4. At the DOS prompt of your Portfolio type SLAVE.
-
- 5. A message will appear on your host computer followed by the
- familiar DOS prompt. Your Portfolio can now be controlled
- directly from the host computer.
