My problem was that my old Apple II+ didn't have any Super Serial
Card, but the older Communications Card. As some of you might remember,
the Comm Card offered 100 or 300 bps. However the manual contained
descriptions on how you could rewire the Comm Card do instead offer
300 or 1200 bps alternatively 1200 or 4800 bps. Needless to say, my
Comm Card was rewired to 1200 or 4800 bps many years ago.
But ADT still doesn't support the Comm Card, so I modified it (ver
1.21) to add this support. The current version is minimalistic: it
blindly assumes a Comm Card and always uses the higher bit rate,
however you can configure the slot of the Comm Card as before.
If anyone is interested in this version, email me.
