Access II: Use Version 1.2 With Apple IIGS



I use Apple IIe and Apple IIc systems to communicate with my server HP by
typing:

in#2
Control-A
T

at the Applesoft BASIC prompt.

When I tried this on an Apple IIGS, it didn't work. I set all communication
parameters from the Control Panel exactly the same as the hardware settings on
the Super Serial Card.

I tried starting up from a System disk, running BASIC.SYSTEM, and typing the
program:

10 PRINT CHR$(4),"in#2"

RUN

This doesn't seem like a good permanent solution. Apparently, my version of
Access II doesn't work on the Apple IIGS. Should I look for other terminal
emulation software?

There should be no problem with this procedure on an Apple IIGS. You are
invoking the Terminal mode from the Super Serial Card firmware, which should
work.

The firmware may not be in modem mode. If this is the case, the method should
be Control-I T instead of Control-A T. (Control-I T is the command for the
Printer/Terminal mode of the firmware, Control-A T is for the Modem mode.)

Access II does work on the Apple IIGS if version 1.2 is used.

Another terminal package is "ASCII Express MouseTalk" from United Software
Industries.

Shareware terminal packages are available from various bulletin boards, but
without a terminal package, accessing a bulletin board would be difficult
at best.
