[Coco] Serial Data Transfer between PC and CoCo

[Bert & Peggy Schneider]

Robert,

Thanks for the advice.  The problem I have is that I need to get a copy
of a decent CoCo terminal program on an RSDOS formatted disk, so I can
load it up on my CoCo.  If I get a copy of terminal software on my PC -
I can't transfer it.  I don't know why I can't get Omniflop to work.

If you know where I can get terminal software on a CoCo disk, let me
know

Thanks!

Bert (I was known as OS9Bert back in my CoCo days - I had a column in
the MOTD OS-9 Users Group Newsletter)

You don't want to use the software built into the RS-232 pack. There 
should be a copy of Ultimaterm on RTSI. If you can't find it, let me 
know and I'll send you a copy. That is a good terminal package for Disk 
Basic use.

Ultimaterm and Hyperterminal both using x-modem is acceptable but not 
perfect. Coco to PC is great but PC to Coco hangs with large files.


When I get the registration code for OmniFlop, I'll be able to test it 
and may be able to help you using it.
