(in#2 works OK) I don't believe that Apple kermit supports a 'Pascal' driver like DCOM does. [DCOM worked right away with the Apple //GS] If the VersaCard works with Pascal, then it probably follows the Pascal 1.1 Firmware Protocol. This protocol standardizes how to initialize, send and receive data from the card. Unfortunately, it doesn't appear to standardize how to send the 'break' signal which is often required in data communications applications. [Anyone (especally from Apple): please let me know if this is otherwise. Maybe this is what the recently added 'control' entry points are for? I'd be happy to recode the firmware ROM on my VersaCard to follow the latest revision of the Firmware protocol, but not if it won't help anything.]
