Subj: THAT DAMNED "DTERM" FILE
I was talking to Mike Klar, the guy who wrote that DTERM file you printed for us a short time ago. He's actually done some other pretty nifty stuff with the WP-2 (he's a Z-80 jock from a ways back, apparently), which I'll try to recover from Compuserve and upload to here. I'm trying to scare up some WP-2 interest on the Internet...it's tough...people tend to be so lethargic... Anyway, to get back to Mike...he doesn't think that entering the info in by ASCII will work. He tells me that the header contains some info that just can't be entered in hex, apparently. Turns out that he wrote the stuff on some z-80 compiler and then transferred it to his WP-2 using a null modem. He sez the Service Manual contains some pretty useful info for programming on the WP-2 (he was even kind enough to point out some particularly heinous bugs in the WP-2 ROM). Does anyone know how I can get me hands on a WP-2 Service Manual, outside of going to Tandy National Parts?
