In transferring files from a Win10 machine to the M4 via a serial connection (9600 / 8N1 / RTS CTS DSR = ON, CD RI = OFF) I am reliably transferring one file at a time using XMODEM. Attempts to use YMODEM for batch transfer have thus far failed. (Receiver reports missing header on file save) Attempts to locate a ZMODEM-based utility have also failed. What might I be missing?
Overcome by the inexplicable urge to program in BASIC I started developing a Morse Code translator that could read ASCII input and output Morse. Having accomplished character translation ("A" => ".-") I turned my attention to outputting equivalent tones. LS-DOS 6.x BASIC has a SOUND function but the tone, duration and interval are all pretty far off the mark. I thought about a ML subroutine to drive the speaker (port 0FFH) with alternating 0s and 1s ("bit-banging"?) but the routines I have shamelessly copied from texts are all mysteriously silent. What might I be missing?
Reading the Misosys Basic manual is better than not having a manual for reference, but there seem to be some omissions of useful facts. For example I couldn't find a listing of operators or their order of precedence. What might I be missing? And does anyone know where a copy of their Basic compiler is to be found?
No biggie, but thanks for your suggestions.
