EDIT – some changes in SINCUS NEWS, starting with new dues for corresponding members, $8/year. This is the result of the new postal rate of $.22 per newsletter plus we are publishing 12 per year as compared to the 10 issues we originally commited for. I trust this nominal increase will be accepted by all conserned, especially in view of the improved quality and prompt mailing of SINCUS NEWS!
NEW – this issue is the first that is being “printed” locally. My “test” copies indicate that 64 characters per column is legible, so I am using that format throughout.
PEEKing Ahead – the 2050 modem software has been modified by Dave Schoenwetter so that you can use a full sized printer, the incoming signal can go right to the printer or it can go into the buffer and then you can send it to be printed out. This is the product of many hours of hard work and trial and error-we do recognize Dave for this effort and I hope all”telecommunicators” will take the time to modify their “original copy of Mterm using the POKEs found on page 6. Thanks Dave for the really big effort!
GOTO the meetings!! We are running classes in programming and are starting a new series of meets on “hardware” and “TS1000” (each is separate!) in addition to the monthly meeting. So come on down and meet some neat folks and stretch your head a little!
LPRINT – or something like it is available on “Vu-File”-look for your newsletter to have a peal-off type label next month!!! And it was so SO simple-just throw a switch on the printer!!!
RUN to the nearest computer and get Wes’ program to work-you will learn something!!!
EDITOR’s NOTE – TASWORD TWO and the AERCO Interface
I have seen a couple “printer patches” for the AERCO I/F and TASWORD TWO. The following is what I was given and have been using for the past six months. Thanks to Knighted Computer for this information!!!
Load TASWORD TWO w/o the AERCO “software” then select “b” for BASIC and then use the POKE command to make the following POKEs:
POKE 57578,32
POKE 57579,12
POKE 57999,127
POKE 58000,230
POKE 58001,19
POKE 58002,254
POKE 58003,1
POKE 58004,32
POKE 58005,-8
POKE 58006,241
POKE 58007,211
POKE 58008,127
POKE 58009,0
POKE 58010,219
POKE 58011,127
POKE 58012,201Now PEEK each of the above addresses to confirm the correct entry of the decimal values. If any are wrong “POKE” it over! Now return to the program – use GOTO 1 and the “STOP” to get the main menu. Now select “t” to save TASWORD-label the cassette!!!
