I've used my '84 2X as a terminal at 19200 bps. How, you ask? Interrupts!
If you have a copy of Mite that came with your Kaypro, you're all set for
speedy communications. Mite is pretty bogus as far as scripts goes, and
my version lacks the nifty long packet Y- and Z-Modem stuff, but it gets
the job done. And it uses interrupts to avoid dropping characters.
Their is a P.D. program on Simtel20 in the Kaypro directory (called
fastterm or something *term) that also uses interrupts, but it can't
perform file transfers, and you have to reboot your Kaypro when you
are finished. The source is there too for your hacking pleasure.
Use a Kaypro for a stool???? I think we could find it a good home
somewhere.

Wasn't there a version of YAM for the Kaypro? That'll do terminal
emulation and file transfer, although I don't know whether ZMODEM came
after MS-DOS or before.

I've got it. I don't remember where from, though. Any good suggestions on
how I could make it publically available?

I tried to mail this, but it bounced. I hope it is of enough general interest
that it is not a waste of bandwidth to post it here.

> Which version of the master? - I've got several of them, but none of them seem
I know the Master I have is 2.2, but off hand I could not tell you if there is
further version info (I think it may be 2.2B, though).
> to be able to recognise much of my RAM... apparently newer versions should.
OK, my understanding is that CP/M 2.2 gives you 56K of usable space. If there
is an Apple version of CP/M 3.0, that should give 60K of work space (out of 64Kof memory). To access more requires a different BIOS, I believe. I know that
some of the Z280 systems have 512K system memory, but I don't know of anything
for the Apple (I still use a II+). I thought about getting an AE Ramfactor
board several years ago, until I found out that to use it under CP/M, I would
have to purchase their Z80 board as well (which came with CP/M 4.0 or 5.0, or
some such animal).
I don't know if Z-System would be able to take advantage of additional memory
or not. I just recently started looking into the product.

The only extra memory I can use is a Cirtech PlusRAM board which I can use
as a ramdisk (drive F:). Cirtech supply a program to set it up, but it only
works under 2.23 and above, so far as I can remember. I also now have
(possibly temporarily) the use of an AST SprintDisk - I'll see what I can
