communications through the printer port
Posted: Sun Nov 16, 2008 10:53 pm
i have a printer cable and i would like to connect to another computer with it. in essence using the dragon as a terminal.
i found this in issue three of dragon world.
10 'to download a program from another computer select serial output on the master computer ad list program to serial printer then:-
20 poke &HF4BF, &H2A: POKE &HF4CO, &H12
25 poke HF4C1, &12: rem onto dragon 64
30 'the program will appear on the dragon screen and will be crunched
40 'once loaded press reset and list program
now the guy wanted to transfer a program from a minicomputer or similar over rs232 to his dragon 64 - is any of this usable you think. obviously the above is a one way thing. i would need a two way.
any simple way to open the dragon up to do this?
