I use Proterm 3.1 with my Apple IIc and WiModem232 V2 @ 9600. I use the suggested initialization string and driver:

Generic Fixed Speed (RTS/CTS) driver
Init string: ATX1&C0&K1&S1
Apple //c Serial Port

The cable is this:
1 Handshake Out    20 DTR
2 Data Out             2 TxD   
3 Ground               7 Gnd   
4 Data In               3 RxD     
5 Handshake In      6 DSR   

Proterm 3.1 can initialize the modem upon startup successfully. 

When I use Proterm's Dial function, Proterm does not recognize that the modem connected. I work around that by going on-line (solid-apple T) and dialing out using ATDS=X, where X is the index of the saved url.  Interestingly enough, Proterm 3.1 does dial out if I use the Smartmodem 300 driver. 

ZModem downloads start giving errors after the first time the computer saves the file to disk; Proterm reports that it was expecting one type of packet but got another (don't recall the exact packet types now). I need to cancel the download manually and power cycle the modem.

When I don't do a file transfer and use +++ to get the modem's attention, and then ATH to disconnect, I do not receive anything else from the modem. I can see the modem disconnected (through the OLED display), but I get no response from AT commands (although I also do see the modem gets the commands once again through the OLED display).

Any ideas of what could be wrong?

Thanks

Been using the SCP for years on my Commodore, but recently wanted to start playing around with my Kaypro.

Starting off simple, I wanted to try backing up my Kaypro 2X boot disk to an SCP image, then write it out to a blank.  Kind of a proof of concept for me to verify that this thing works for Kaypro disks.

Unfortunately I haven't had any success.  Perhaps the SCP isn't compatible with Kaypro disks....  I dunno.

This is why I'm here.  If it doesn't support it, then so be it... but if it should, then could you please provide me with the appropriate settings I should use to backup/restore the disk?

Thanks for your time.

Reaching out here to see if you can provide some sort of insight as to what the expectation level is for the Blingboard and the kepycap situation?

Everythings been pretty quiet since that whole Chris/Commodore debate and with Commodores now shipping, seems like there should be something said regarding your Blingboard campaign. The 'natives' ae getting restles, but to be fair, the backers deserve am update.

Best,

I modified a few things prior to the at&w. 

at*busy=in a call write now call back later
ats0=9
at&w

that caused the LED to go out. 

I've tried to set the LED via at*led5, at*led0, at*led1, nothing is bring it back. 

I did reboot and complete power cycle nothing helped it. 

I use that LED to see who is trying to login to my system. 

I don't see anyone else with this issue.

    Having trouble with a second ICS64 build.  The board keeps failing during the diagnostic sound test (586220 diagnostic cartridge).  It stalls sounding one tone.  All the chips work when placed in the the first build.  The OLED display works fine and I can change to different OS systems loaded in the kernal chip.  Sometimes after turning on the board, without a diagnostic cartridge, the screen hick-ups and freezes with a fast blinking prompt.  The board passes the dead test.
    I'm wondering if I could have cooked some SMD components the backside.  Any suggestions? 

Thanks]]>

On the main website, there is a button saying SuperCard Pro Advanced will be available, but I cannot find any additional information about it. Is it still under development, and is it perhaps known what will be the difference between this Advanced version and the already known SuperCardPro model?

Out of the four 5.25” drives I have, three display the message “no index pulse found” when attempting to read the disks using the SCP Disk Analyzer. When I select “Ignore Index Sensor” from the options menu, the software proceeds to read—but I still get no flux data.

The only drive that can read the disks without ignoring the index sensor also produces no flux data.

Below are screenshots showing the flux display for head 0 and head 1.

When accessing a server in the local network using telnet, I get TERM set to "wimodem", which makes programs confused about the features supported. Is there a register somewhere this string is stored so I can have "vt100", "ansi" or other configuration string compatible with the software running on the computer (or the physical terminal) attached to the modem? I can use my .profile script to force TERM to be something else if I login with it set to "wimodem", but it'd be cool if that could be configured on the modem itself.

Cheers, and, again, thanks for the amazing product.]]>

Checking the manual, I may be experiencing the "too close" to my router problem?

I connected the WiModem to my C128 which is farther away but still pretty close (it is an adjacent room) and it seems to have no trouble finding and connecting to the router.

So how close is "too close"? More importantly, could something else have changed to cause this failure to connect?]]> 1 firmware.
