APPENDIX A: Sample Dumb-Terminal Program

10 REM *** DUMB-TERMINAL PROGRAM FOR THE interface

converter

20 REM *** Running under IBM BASIC

30 REM *** This Program allows direct interaction between the

40 REM *** IBM PC and an IEEE bus device through the interface

converter.

50 REM *** The interface converter must be configured as the

IEEE bus

60 REM *** controller and have Talk-Back on Terminator enabled.

70 REM ***

80 REM ***

90 REM ***

100 CLS

110 ' Open the serial communications port and set the serial parameters

120 OPEN "COM1: 9600,n,8,2,cs,ds" AS 1

130 ' Display any characters received from the COM1 port

140 IF LOC(1) THEN PRINT INPUT$ (LOC(1) ,1);

150 ' Transmit any key presses from keyboard to the COM1 port and to

the screen

160 K$=INKEY$

170 PRINT #1,K$; : PRINT K$;

180 GOTO 140 ' Do it again
