Serial Protocol for Starturn 4 PC

[rasp]

I am running a Starturn 4 off an old laptop using DOS version 6, all is working well but the problem is I keep running into the maximum number of lines allowable in the Denford software.

I guess all that is happening in the software is a string of text is being sent and an Ack returned when that line is complete, and maybe some status data returned for speed feed etc.

My question is this :-

Are the serial protocols documented anywhere so I could write a VB or C++ program to spool large files to the old machine?

I've passed this on to one of the old software guys who should be able to help...he's on holiday at the moment though

Hi,

Sorry not yet - he said he'd have a look but he obviously hasn't has chance or has forgotten!
I'll ask again.

He's taking quite a while, isn't he?
