Apple has issued an upgraded version of Access II for support of the Apple
IIGS internal modem port.
While version 1.2 is essentially the same as the previous version of Access
II, sucessfully using version 1.2 constrains the IIGS system in the
configuration of slots 1 and 2. Access II works properly when slots 1 and 2
are set up in their default configurations from the Control Panel:
Under the 'SLOTS' menu item:
----------------------------
Slot 1: Printer Port
Slot 2: Modem Port
Slot 7: Your Card
Under the 'Modem Configuration' menu item:
------------------------------------------
Device Connected: Modem
Unless the following change is made to the default settings of the modem
port, Access II will freeze and no dialing will occur.
1. enter the Control Panel
2. select Modem Port
3. select DCD Handshake: it MUST be answered NO
4. select DST/DTR Handshake: it MUST be answered NO
5. tap the RETURN key to save your change.
Be sure to turn the computer off before trying Access II again.
The Modem Port setting should look like this:
Device Connected: Modem
Line Length: Unlimited
Delete fisrt LF after CR: No
Add LF after CR: No
Echo: No
Buffering: No
Baud: 1200
Data/Stop Bits: 8/1
Parity: None
DCD Handshake: No
DSR/DTR Handshake: No
XON/XOFF Handshake: No
When using Access II 1.2 through the IIGS internal port, there cannot be any
type of interface card in slots one or two, regardless of control panel
settings. If they are present, various results may be encountered including
the Utilities function of the program becoming inaccessable.
Also, if you are using AutoDial to dial out, you must wait about 30 seconds
before you will hear a dial tone and the number dialed. If after 30 seconds
you don't hear the dial tone, check the cable connections and settings of the
IIGS Control Panel and Access II and try again.
