KERMIT

For my experiments without TTY and OS/8 I used a notebook
   Dell Latitude C600 (it has a serial interface)
running
   Ubuntu 10.04.2 LTS
and 
   C-KERMIT 8.0.211 / aug 2004
using
   dot.kermrc

The connection was done with a 3-wire line (GND, RCV, XMT)
over an terminalserver. A PDP8 is fast enough to fill it's
RAM with data that come with 9600 Bd without handshake or 
other flow-control.

dot.kermrc is the setup-file that my C-kermit used, when I
played arround, trying to load programs via serial line into
core of my PDP8.
It has to be copied with the name ".kermrc" in the home of
the unix-system.

To download the programms I used kermit-commands
   set parity none
   transmit /binary /noecho binldr.hs

now the binldr should be in core. Start it and enter
   transmit /binary /noecho basic8.bn

after downloading the programm the loader stops and should
show 0000 in AC.
Now you can enter the Connect-mode of kermit and after starting
basic8 at 1000, you should get a ready-massage.
If you get strange characters, leave the connect-mode an give
the command
   set parity mark



Have fun!
