30 Terminals for 1764 13 Open R.SMITH71 ************ Topic 30 Mon Feb 20, 1989 R.SMITH71 at 20:36 PST Sub: Terminals for 1764 Different terminals that support the 1764 REU 13 new messages. ************ ------------ Category 8, Topic 30 Message 1 Mon Feb 20, 1989 R.SMITH71 at 20:37 PST Can someone please tell me a terminal I can get here that supports the 1764 REU? Thanks ------------ Category 8, Topic 30 Message 2 Wed Feb 22, 1989 DO-RAE-MI at 01:47 EST The only term I know of is CGterm for the C128 (which runs with Ramdos ), but that is second hand as I'm not a c128 user. For c64 users, I'm unaware of any support for the REU at this time. It's a nice option, so one will turn up eventually. Sorry I can't be the bearer of better tidings, Ted ------------ Category 8, Topic 30 Message 3 Wed Feb 22, 1989 C128.CPM [Bill] at 02:33 EST Well, since Ted has brought up the C-128, one term that does support the REU family is UltraTerm 3.0 A real nice package. I have been using it with a 1764 plugged into the C-128, and as long as you remember that you have only 256K, your fine! <Sorry, but I gave up looking for a 1750). Ultra Term is a commercial product. You might be able to ask the author Steve Boerner (GEnei address S.BOERNER) more about this 128 term. Gee, R.Smith, I hope ya got a 128! ------------ Category 8, Topic 30 Message 4 Wed Feb 22, 1989 H.HERMAN1 at 08:01 EST Bill, A few more terms that use the #1764, and/or #1750 on the 128 are the Term that comes with Chris Smeets' DOS. It also does ANSI color graphics, Y modem batch transfers, smart "batch" script files, etc. If you get the idea that I like this one, you are right. Oh, the REU too is used to call routines, and as one huge buffer. (Chris describes this as a bare bones Term......) Also, using the REU, this time as a RAM disk drive is Commodore's VT100-128, ver 2.0. Just run RAMdisk first to set it up, and vt100- 128 looks to it as just another drive, but a fast one.... And, doesn't the old Sixth Sense 128 also use the REU? There does seem to be stuff that will let you, up/down load, and buffer using it. BTW....Someone is working on having two #1750's running concurrently, and something on this should be available soon. I probably will be needing a second #1750. :) Howie ------------ Category 8, Topic 30 Message 5 Wed Feb 22, 1989 R.SMITH71 at 05:49 PST Nothing for the 64? ------------ Category 8, Topic 30 Message 6 Wed Feb 22, 1989 HORO [-SysOp-] at 12:34 EST I believe the Y-modem batch used by Chris Smeets' TERM is not the same implementation as GEnie's, and it doesn't work. What he calls 'Y-modem' is the same as GEnie's Xmodem 1k (and it works wonderfully). I also like using that term because it has an option to un-archive ARC files AS THEY ARE DOWNLOADED. There is a very small loss of speed, but at 1200 baud it's negligible. ------------ Category 8, Topic 30 Message 7 Wed Feb 22, 1989 H.HERMAN1 at 20:48 EST R.Smith, I may have found something for you in my bbs wanderings. If I read the post correctly, Color 64 bbs has a Term within it, which will give you REU access. Now, I know your original request was for a Term from Genie, but since no one has yet come up with any, commercial or PD, that uses the REU, you may find this a satisfactory interim solution. Here's the post that I am referring to. I quess if you have any questions, you can contact the writer direct in the Commodore section on the Net-Exchange, PCP's bbs. From what is posted, is seems Color 64 makes for a nice Term too: ---------------------------------- No. 75 02/22/89 00:58:58 From: Terry Troxel To: Kevin Schlagel Subject: (R) Commodore 64/128 Message class: Public Message base: C64 Ok, here goes as to what i am using. I run a small Color 64 BBS in Huntington Beach, Calif. I have a 128 and a 64c and have used PC P with my term within the bbs prg and also CCGMS 5.5, but mainly the bbs term within the prg as its easier and allows me all the plus' like downloading or uploading to the 1750 ram and geting to any of my IEEE drives which most Commodore terms don't allow. I now have a Supra 2400 with an Omnitronics Deluxe rs232 interface but till i got that I had my trusty old 1670 for over 3 years. Now I have only been using PC P for a short time (4 months), and only call out using 3 access #s 1200 in Garden Grove, 1200 in Santa Ana and 2400 in Santa Ana. I have called other Color 64 boards and some Cnet systems in most every city PC P allows and have *NEVER* had an error problem that caused a problem with an upload or a download. I am totally happy with it for my uses and plan on keeping it for the time being. I don't claim to be an expert or know all the answers, but I for one like my Color 64 software for its flexibility with all kinds oh hardware and the fantastic support you get from the author and his support boards all over the country. I have taken up a new hobby since getting PC P and that is collecting "mods" for the bbs that are found all over the usa. It's like collecting stamps. Where else do you get a (1) block file with a (2) page doc file for it? Terry Troxel --------------------------------- It seems that the 128 is not the only REU user, with Terms. Howie ------------ Category 8, Topic 30 Message 8 Wed Feb 22, 1989 HORO [-SysOp-] at 22:07 EST And coincidentally, the author of COLOR64BBS is right here in our little FlagShip! His name is Greg Pfountz, he is a SysOp here, and his GEmail address is COLOR64BBS (naturally!) ... Greg, any clarification? Will the Term program run without having the whole BBS package? ------------ Category 8, Topic 30 Message 9 Thu Feb 23, 1989 COLOR64BBS [Greg Pfountz] at 23:16 EST Yes, Color 64's built in terminal makes good use of the 1764 ram modules, just like it does from within the BBS - and no, there is no way to pull out just the terminal program into a standalone product - much of the code used by the built in terminal is also the same code used by the BBS itself. I am surprised that nobody has found a C64 terminal that does allow you using the 1764 as a ram disk - it really does speed up file xfers - and when calling LD or a network like this, time is money!! ------------ Category 8, Topic 30 Message 10 Sun Apr 30, 1989 AMFORD at 00:18 CDT I think someone mentioned, at a club meeting, that Runterm on RUN's new productivity disk would support the ram expanders. Anyone able to confirm this? (or deny it?) ------------ Category 8, Topic 30 Message 11 Sun Apr 30, 1989 C128-BILL [Phoenix] at 11:00 EDT Lou Wallace of RUN usually checks in here....... Lou?? ------------ Category 8, Topic 30 Message 12 Sat May 06, 1989 LRWALLACE at 12:06 EDT RunTerm Yes, the latest version of RunTerm which is on the RUN WORKS disk supports a 1700 or 1750 REU on the C128, or a 1764 on the C64 version. The way iit works is to allow you to capture text into the REU as an extended capture buffer. You cannot use it for downloading to as a ramdisk. Once the text is captured, you can save it (in 64K chunks) to disk as seq files, which can be printed or edited by any seq word processor. Lou ------------ Category 8, Topic 30 Message 13 Sun May 07, 1989 AMFORD at 13:08 CDT That is exactly what I am looking for! Opening the buffer and letting her rip and then leisurelly looking at the messages later. ------------
