============================= QuickPort by Derek Taubert ============================= Freeware (send money if you want) This CDA can be used to boost the IIgs to 576,000 baud through either port. Proterm can handle Ymodem transfers at 57.6 with no errors if used with a transwarp GS. Get into proterm (or whatever) and let it initialize the modem port. Go to QuickPort and change the baud rate to 38.4 or 57.6 Baud rate will stay the same unless port is re-initialized or baud rate is changed by firmware. NOT meant to initialize the ports, this program merely changes the SCC baud rate constant. Home addr: Derek Taubert 8 Chestnut Court Clinton, IL 61727-2427 School addr: 402 S.

If anyone knows how to do a writeln in tml in a CDA without the text coming out in inverse, let me know. ____________________ ======================================= QuickPort II by Yoshi of Digital Exodus ======================================= Heya, everyone. Well, this is one of my other boring programs; too bad it actually has a decent use. I got sick of QuickPort crashing on me all the time when I had slots set to 'Your Card', so I decided to actually write my *OWN* QuickPort. Of course, the name, 'QuickPort' is originally from Derek Taubert, but I honestly don't think he'll mind if I make a sequel (I already informally asked him if it'd be OK). Anyways, on to the rest of this story. I ordered the Am8530H/Am85C30 Serial Communications Controller manual, and all of it's revisions/updates. I proceeded to ask Jawaid Bazyar a few questions about how to use the SCC controller regs ($C038-$C03B) properly. He helped a lot. Thanx Jawaid! So, the finished work (for now) is QuickPort II. Oh yeah; this program works under ProDOS 8 too. Oh yay. :-/ ======================================= Bugs! Ugh! Get the RAID! ======================================= There's probably a LOT more bugs than I know of, but here's the main ones. * I don't check to see if AppleTalk is active; according to the technote (IIGS #18), I have to do this. I'll add checking in the near future. * If the baud rate is LESS THAN 300 baud, it'll print '???' as the baud rate. This really isn't a "bug," because of the fact that *I* know of about 2 people who use 1200 baud or less, even for printer-IIGS communication. If I get a large demand for this, i'll implement, since it's not that hard. * Sorry about re-drawing the ENTIRE text page to update the baud rates; due to the way I have the baud-rate changer implemented, it requires this. I may change this later, but I dunno. * There's probably more; I haven't experimented with a lot of stuff, so send the bug reports to me!!! :-) ======================================= That basically covers it.
