TERMINAL MODE In Communications Mode, a dumb terminal mode is available. Enter this mode by typing T. Exit by typing Q. Also supports old Apple Communications Interface Card commands enter terminal mode and exit terminal mode. ============================ CHAPTER 4 -- Emulation Modes SW1-5 and SW1-6 select these modes (see ch.1). Emulates P8 or P8A versions of Apple ][ Serial Interface Card (SIC). COMPATIBILITY Partial Peek & Poke compatibility with SIC. Supports ETX/ACK software handshake. DOES NOT SUPPORT P8 SIC block moves. Baud rates or data formats other than those listed. U or L commands for upper and lower case. Current loop operation. =========================== CHAPTER 5 -- Use with BASIC PRINTER MODE: Use PR#s where s is the slot of the card to activate, use CTL-I commands to reset parameters. COMMUNICATIONS MODE: Use PR#s and IN#s where s is the slot of the card to activate, use CTL-A commands to reset parameters. JUMPER BLOCK: In terminal position, performs the function of modem eliminator. In modem position, expects full RS-232 signals. ========================= CHAPTER 6 -- DB-25 pinout 1 Frame Ground 2 Transmit Data 3 Receive Data 4 Request To Send 5 Clear To Send 6 Data Set Ready 7 Signal Ground 8 Data Carrier Detect 19 Secondary Clear To Send 20 Data Terminal Ready
