You can check with Steve to make sure it is still included. Below is contact info recently supplied to me by Dr. Tom: Apple Blossom (Apple Blossom Publishing, P.O. Box 120434, Boston, MA 02112-0434) is a bi-montly mini-magazine edited by Steve Cavenaugh. (http://people.delphi.com/appleblossom/ email: appleblossom@delphi.com) You mentioned a problem getting SSC info. If "SSC" means "Super Serial Card" the following should help: From: Tom Kelly 013- What are the settings for the Apple Super Serial Card? SUPER SERIAL CARD (SSC) SETUP SETTINGS Recomended slots: slot 1 for terminal use (e.g. printer) slot 2 for communication use (e.g. modem) Jumper Block: for communication use label is upside down (arrow points up) for terminal use label is right side up (arrow points down) Note that RS-232-C signals on the SSC use negative-true logic; that is, they are true at 0v and false at +5 volts.
