I wonder if there are drivers in nature that support connecting

IMHO if you connect this modem there, then you will have a terrible conflict
devices, which will manifest itself more strongly the more devices you have
(a hard drive and a serial port will be enough for the full
program). In CP/M, after all, the entire address space of the ports is completely clogged.

Well, the modem is already connected according to this scheme :)
As far as I understand, according to the Kondratieff scheme, decryption of internal ports
occurs using one address signal A4.
You are right, a conflict does occur, and the first way it is expressed is
when you try to load HopCommander V2.04 (Profi just hangs), and CopyK
works without problems.
I had such problems even before connecting the screw...
Therefore, I hastily installed a toggle switch that disconnects A4 from the
Kondratieff controller board, removing all the glitches when working in CP/M. =)
It seems that when decrypting internal ports, Profi - A4 is not analyzed.
In this case, the diagram published in Oberon #4 by Zhenya Milun should help, namely
we are talking about the IORQGE signal.
I can’t guarantee it, everyone can’t get around to checking it, but there is a chance. :)
P.S. But the hope of using this scheme for connecting a modem with
terminal under CP/M still glimmers :)
2All: In vain?
P.P.S. Secretly, at the moment there is an activetesting the new version of
S-Terminal (Evgeny Milun/SoK), so its appearance in the echo is not imminent ;)

No, everything is much more neglected there. Now I don’t remember the complete scheme for decrypting ports; at one time I compiled it. I have it on my Spectrum disk, and my Spectrum is resting in some warehouse (how it got there is a different story), Therefore, I can’t throw it there. I will only say that all the bits possible are analyzed there. The problem is how. And
there are a bunch of addresses with A0=4. I also dealt with this problem at one time and found another solution. Actually, the Pro scheme provides
blocking OUTIORQ if at least one of its additional devices is selected,
but for some reason it does not work. Why - I only have a suspicion
that the prohibition signal takes too long to form, and
some partOUTIORQ manages to get through this time. In the Profi v5.0 diagram
see element DD19 of the upper board, and the CSAP6 signal, which should
block OUTIORQ. I solved this problem this way: additional devices
work only when the #DFFD port bit is set to 1-5. Hence the task:
to block OUTIORQ when it is set to 1. This is done using
a single OR element, to which the signal
OUTIORQ itself is supplied, as well as the signal from the 7th leg of the DD46 chip (for version 5), which
is the fifth bit. If you don’t have a computer circuit or want to solder something to
the motherboard, then the inverted fifth bit of the above-mentioned port
can be removed from the B30 leg of the system connector (CP/M signal).
OP> In this case, the circuit published in Oberon#4 by Zhenya

OP> we are talking about the IORQGE signal.
OP> No guarantee I can, I can’t get around to checking, but there is a chance. :)
Then, in theory, your professional bells and whistles will stop working. IORQGE
will block the arrival of IORQ immediately after the device is triggered. And then what should the lickers do? They simply won’t have time to work - the address decoder is very bulky and slow (lots of logic + ROM).
OP> P.S. But the hope of using this scheme for connecting a modem with
OP> a terminal under CP/M still glimmers :)
In general, if you write a driver and changeport address so that there are no conflicts (you can choose one of #F7, #DB, #D7, #BB, #B7, #9B, #97, #7F, #77,
#6F, #5F. However, keep in mind that #FB and #7B are occupied in other models under
ZX-Lprint, my ROM emulator hangs on port #F7, plus you need to check other
addresses for conflicts with anything known.
P.S. If I manage to rescue Speck, I’ll post all the
information I have.

Eh, no. Nothing should be buggy. Why on earth? Let's figure it out on our fingers.
What is the IORQGE signal used for? For blocking internal ports and resolving just such conflicts. The device activates this signal only in one case - when it “sensed” an appeal to itself! And since the computer climbs into the ports of this device... then it should not give a damn about the availability/inaccessibility of internal ports. If everything is not so in Profi... Well, you can
only sympathize.

A quick question. :) Is it possible in your terminal, while downloading mail, to pass a mail package (file) as you can in T-Mail? Otherwise there is no need to download emuli
to Speccy. :) And the subject would come out as soon as possible, otherwise I’m already running out of points. :)
One more question. Downloading means a mail package, ~180 kb in size, there is a connection break, after the second call the package should start downloading from the interrupted position, we have finished downloading. Now let's look at what files appeared on our disk:
After the connection was lost
name.0o0 ~64 kb
name.1o0 ~20 kb
After downloading the entire package
name.0o0 ~64 kb
name.1o0 ~20 kb
name 0o0 ~30 kb
name 2o0 ~40 kb
So here's the question: how to unpack it? Not unpacked.:(
_Everything from the words of the point_ !!! If something is wrong, then don’t be alarmed.
With respect SP/PoS.

Once on 24 Nov 98 at 14:43:52 there was a conflict

For my unzip you need this:
name.0o0
name.0o0
name.1o0
name.2o0
But this situation is not entirely standard because the first file has a number in the first
extension character, although it should work.

The main programs for working with mail today
are:
tm.com + emsi.ptc - terminal and transmission protocol. This
bundle provides network and transport
level protocols, i.e. allows two network nodes to connect,
perform mutual identification, and send each other
some information in the form of files.
pkt.com + msged.com + pstrip.com - processing program
incoming/outgoing mail, editor forreading/writing
letters, a utility for working with letter databases. This bundle
processes mail received by the node in the form of files
and packs information to be sent into files.
lzh.com - used to unzip received files.
An essential condition for the operation of this package is the presence of _external_ momeda

Uh-oh... Yes, actually, I have a terminal, not a soaper. :) But, in any

Eeeee... IMHO, you made a mistake. You are talking about Melon, and not about my
S-Terminal.
But, in any case, nothing like that is possible for me - when downloading a
file with ZModem, if the connection is lost, the amount will be written to the disk.downloaded.
When the connection is restored and the download is successful, a new file will not be created, but an existing one will be
updated. Those. for example, before the crash they downloaded 20Kb, after
restoring another 30Kb. There will be not two files on the disk, but one - 50Kb.
(Actually this part - Download - is already ready and is being tested. :)) )

This is NOT IORQGE. Everything is really different there and everything is crooked. There, absolutely all
devices are suspended on IORQ, and the decoding of their addresses (except for #FE and
#xxFD) is carried out by a circuit assembled on ROM and even additional logic. In addition to the address bus, this circuit also contains computer mode signals
(activity of the TR-DOS controller, that same bit of the #DFFD port, compatibility latch button, etc.). This circuit has 5 outputs, eachwhich
goes to select a specific device. These same outputs are collected through AND-HE, and
what happened (in the circuit it is called CSAP6), when mixed with IORQ through
OR gives OUTIORQ. It seems that CSAP6 is seriously delayed relative to IORQ, as a result of which, even when one of the devices is activated, the OUTIORQ output still manages to pass a pulse sufficient to activate the conflicting device hanging on it.
EM> Wait, are you saying that the #EF port is already busy? Those. its
EM> more
EM> full decryption will not give anything? Then, indeed, there is a problem...
Yes. This is one of the VI53 timer ports. This is the address.
