PK-88 OPERATING MANUAL
2.12.2 Apple II, II+, IIE and IIC
The PK-88 operates well with the Apple II family of computers using both
Apple-supplied and third-party serial interface cards. Terminal programs used
successfully include ASCII EXPRESS PRO, Hayes SMARTCOMM IIE, Modem Manager and
DataCapture 4.0
2.12.3 Commodore 64, 64C, 128, Vic 20
AEA's program COM-PAKRATT will work with the Commodore 64 and 128 series of
computers. COM-PAKRATT will not work with the VIC-20. A BASIC communications
program is printed in the Programmer's Reference Guide published by Commodore.
Use the program listing for 'True ASCII'; Commodore computers use a modified
ASCII format internally. We suggest you operate the PK-88 at 300 baud with
these computers to avoid possible data speed difficulties.
2.12.4 IBM PCjrTM
The PCjr's BASIC cartridge contains a terminal program. Start the
program by typing 'TERM.'
ails on the program. For best results with the PCjr do not run the
PK-88's serial port baud rate faster than 1200 baud
2.12.5 Tandy Color Computer
Several terminal programs are available for the CoCo. We suggest that you use
a commercial program rather than writing your own. The CoCo's 'software UART'
may be difficult to program in BASIC.
2.12.6 Tandy Model 100/102, Kyocera KC-85 and NEC 8201
These portable computers have built-in terminal programs in ROM. Consult the
computer documentation for instructions in their use.
2.12.7 IBM PCs, 'Clones' and True Compatibles
AEA's PC-PAKRATT will work with the PK-88 and the IBM-PC, AT and true
compatibles. There are also many commercial, 'shareware' and public domain
communications and terminal programs available for the IBM PC family and
compatible MS-DOS computers. Almost any of these programs can be used
successfully with the PK-88.
Specialized terminal programs for packet radio and electronic mail or packet
bulletin board service can be found throughout the packet radio community and
can be downloaded from Compuserve, GEnie and from many telephone bulletin
boards.
A partial list of terminal and BBS programs tested successfully with the PK-88
includes:
PCPAKRAT, PROCOMM, PROCOMM-PLUS, CROSSTALK, SMARTCOM, RELAY, CTERM, QMODEM,
PC-TALK, HAMCOM, PK232COM, ASCII EXPRESS, BITCOM, PACKCOMM, PACKTALK, RAMPAC,
MACPAC, YAPP, WA7MBL V3.x/4.x/5.x, WORLI V4.5/6.03, KA2BQE PRMBS VO.97u, AC4X
MPC V4.03, and others.
