Re: this laser 128 won't run adt.dmp

Okay, I have a Laser 128 and when I was trying to get programs to it I
was able to do it one way.  I was able to transfer only files that were
in ASCII.  This proved to be enough because you can get ASCII versions
of downloadable programs.  If I remember right I also had trouble with
ADT.  This may be a difference in hardware/firmware on the serial port.
Anyway, I wrote a basic program to receive an ascii file a line at a
time that I would append to the end of a file.  I would get the data to
the file by redirecting the serial port to the console.  I can't even
remember how to do this. Timing was very crucial and I ended up changing
a lot of settings that I can't even remember.  It was slow but it
worked.  There is one difference that I can tell though.  I already has
a version of prodos.  So this may not be a big help, but it may work
well enough. Yes the download was always at 300 baud. Good luck.

PS This method does NOT work on an Apple 2.  The serial drivers differ
to much.
    I am not sure where my disk with the program is, otherwise I would
send you the basic code.
