This program permits you to change many of system's parameters, including the assignment of the LST: device, baud rates, numeric keypad and cursor key character generation, etc. You may also reassign logical devices with "STAT.COM" (also on your system disk). It is documented in your CP/M manual. For example: A0>stat dev: will produce a listing of the logical device assignments. The actual pin assignments on your Kaypro should be in your Owner's Manual. Interfacing the Kaypro to a serial printer is discussed at some length in "The RS-232 Solution", available from Sybex Computer Books. Kaypro apparently did some strange things to the RS-232 interface (but then who hasn't!). Jeff Wieland wieland@ecn.purdue.edu
