Friends,

I'm trying to bring MDM730 up on a Franklin ACE 1200 in the CP/M mode.
Unfortunately the Franklin-provided literature is not very complete.
In discussing the serial interface card, it describes several calls
you can make to get a character from the serial port or send a character
to the port ... but that is NOT enough for practical purposes!

I need the actual memory address of the send and receive port (should
be the same), and more important - the masking values that I use to
determine if (1) a character has been received, and (2) if the send
buffer is clear and ready to receive a character for a send.

I have values for various Apple serial cards, but ALL are just a wee bit
different - don't really want to try trial and error:  so inelegant!

Once I get this rascal up, I'll post the MDM7nn overlay on INFO-CPM
and INFO-MODEM7 (I think), and will let you all know too if interested.

Regards,

ps:  I don't own a Franklin, just helping a buddy.
