Protocols

ZXNet echo conference «code.zx»

From Konstantin Butorin To All 26 July 2002

Hi, All! People! People! Give protocols for data transmission from EMS or MMD!!! And teach them how to make them work, if possible... Lots of literature welcome. P.S. I got carried away by ZX<>PC LINK - I have the hardware, I need to write a program... Bye All...

Yes, there are no differences, only blocks of 256 bytes and everything is transmitted in the hobet. This is about MMD. But nothing is known about EMS.

Hi, Kirill! KB>> People! People! Give data transfer protocols from EMS or MMD KF> What protocols? What level? The lowest ;) Allegedly, data transfer for the PC is a standard function and This is controlled by a standard microcircuit. I would like this chip on spec emulate.

Bye Kirill...

What microcircuit? Or are you talking about RS232? So everything is like in the book: start bit, N[5-8] data bit, N[0-1] bit (un)parity, N[1-2]-stop bit. Bit interval duration 1/115200, 1/57600, 1/38400,... 1/1200 shares seconds. Zero is coded with a voltage of +3..+12 volts, one -3..-12 volts. In reality, a modern pisish port perceives 0 volts as log.1 - this is a feature for devices without a voltage source of negative polarity. Well, it digs all +/-12 volts, up to 20 mA of current can be removed. KB>>> P.S. I got carried away by ZX<>PC LINK - I have the hardware, I need to write a program... KF>> Then you need an X-modem.

KB> Will it work with the PC_X-modem_protocol? With mmd older versions (2.20 from 1997) - it will probably be. With new ones (4.xx) it won’t, it didn’t work for me with them, about 1.5-2 years ago... It’s just in new MMDs the 128-byte x-modem is broken, only the 256-byte one works, but for PC it is not standard. For a 256-byte protocol on a PC, I can issue a program (src) in Pascal. It works through FOSSIL and only in DOS (in the Windows DOS emulator, semi-axis Linux also works). On fast computers it may crash with an error (due to DOS pascal).
