tschak909 Posted December 15, 2018 Share Posted December 15, 2018 Thanks to a new version of APE from @classics (v3.0.14), the R: handler now properly honors the baud rate, and throttles appropriately, and PLATOTerm is now able to connect and be usable at 1200 baud! Thanks to Steve Tucker @ AtariMAX! -Thom 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GREAT NEWS!!! Can't wait to give it a try this weekend. Thanks Thom and Steve!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ely Posted December 15, 2018 Share Posted December 15, 2018 Sounds great. I assume the download for the new version is on the AtariMax site somewhere is it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tschak909 Posted December 15, 2018 Author Share Posted December 15, 2018 Not sure yet, I was given an upgrade download, last night, and asked to test. I had to ping him once, to get the right AT command to switch the modem emulation into raw socket mode (ATB2), but other than that, it's been working great. There is no RTS/CTS flow control (not his fault, SIO protocol is hamstrung when it comes to asserting handshake signals), so speed is limited to 2400 baud (marginal)...1200 baud is very reliable. -Thom 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lord Thag Posted December 18, 2018 Share Posted December 18, 2018 Yeah, this will allow me to connect as well. I'll check it out after I get back from holiday vacation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gunstar Posted December 18, 2018 Share Posted December 18, 2018 So I assume Platoterm Lite will work with APE too? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tschak909 Posted December 18, 2018 Author Share Posted December 18, 2018 Yes, the fix was in APE, not PLATOTerm. (Basically, it now properly clocks data according to the requested baud rate, instead of shoving it out as fast as it can) -Thom 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gunstar Posted December 18, 2018 Share Posted December 18, 2018 (edited) Sounds great. I assume the download for the new version is on the AtariMax site somewhere is it? Since it's a commercial product with a registered version, you may have to get an updated version from Steve directly. Either way, hopefully we will know soon.

tschak909 Posted December 18, 2018 Author Share Posted December 18, 2018 Yeah, I'm a registered user, and he shipped me one to test, so I may have jumped the gun mentioning it.. -Thom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gunstar Posted December 18, 2018 Share Posted December 18, 2018 (edited) I'm a registered user too, so I'll just wait patiently until I hear more. Edited December 18, 2018 by Gunstar Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Stephen Posted December 19, 2018 Share Posted December 19, 2018 Just email Steve using the "classics" email. He responded to me in < 24 hours, and even changed my address in the splash screen (I moved almost 4 years ago, dunno why I never asked before).
