I'm envisioning the //e's as terminals to unix (or GNO)

[Joe Nowak <nowak@mcs.com>]

Yes:

Does GNO have serial port drivers for the Super Serial Card?
Or are the routines just for the built-in ports on slots 1 and 2?

The reason I ask is because I have 15 Apple //e's and two GS's and
a big pile of SSC's.  Enough for each //e and all 14 slots of the gs's.

I'm envisioning the //e's as terminals to shell accounts on the GS's.
One GS would be connected via 28.8 when (if) TCP/IP services
become available under GNO.  MIGHT THIS WORK OR AM I DREAMING?


WHY WOULD I ATTEMPT THIS vs buying a nice set-up??

This set-up, if I can get it to work will be donated to an
inner-city catholic grade school in Chicago.  Sr. Mary Therese has a lab
of donated //e's.  She can afford only one telephone line. If
seven kids could have live shell accounts, it would help facilitate
the learning process through hands on training time.

PS If anyone has old Apple II stuff they don't want... and could donate,
I'm collecting 5.25 disks (blank or full), manuals, Apple II magazines such as
nibble, A2 Central, C.A.L.L Apple etc.   Anything that kids might need to
help them learn the //e's as we did way back when.  Thanks.

There's only three kinds of people in this world:
                            Those who know math and those who don't.
