RICK, I need to know if in Library Subdirectory Telcom there is an XModem machine program that supports the cassette port (You know download to CAS: or upload from CAS:)? Also to Drew (I don't remember last name) Help on timing -- Strobe pin (output) and Busy pin (either 21 or 25) (input) on the printer port -- I can get/send data but I don't have the proper timing to send practical data. Any help? Rick- this may be what you where talking about other users want to "plug in only" extra devices (use the printer/computer status pins for the device ). PS: I received the disk. Tried it out. The lister program would not work like the directions said. I wrote a simple program to send all files to the printer. You could mention the library to all new users in the opening messages, and maybe allow them to get one program (Say xmdwp5 and its support files) to show them whats there also may be allow them to get a listing of all the availible files on the board (no downloading --just look) to show them what they may be able to get (like the big department stores catologs-look but don't touch). This may get more library use(?).
