PK-88 OPERATING MANUAL

INSTALLATION

PK-88 - 35

2.12.3

Commodore 64, 64C, 128, Vic 20

AEA's program COM-PAKRATT will work with the Commodore 64 and 128 series of com-
puters. COM-PAKRATT will not work with the VIC-20. A BASIC communications program is
printed in the Programmer's Reference Guide published by Commodore. Use the program
listing for 'True ASCII'; Commodore computers use a modified ASCII format internally. We
suggest you operate the PK-88 at 300 baud with these computers to avoid possible data
speed difficulties.

2.12.4

IBM PCjr™

The PCjr's BASIC cartridge contains a terminal program. Start the program by typing

TERM

. Refer to the PCjr's BASIC manual for details on the program. For best results with

the PCjr do not run the PK-88's serial port baud rate faster than 1200 baud.

2.12.5

Tandy Color Computer

Several terminal programs are available for the CoCo. We suggest that you use a commer-
cial program rather than writing your own. The CoCo's 'software UART' may be difficult to
program in BASIC.

2.12.6

Tandy Model 100/102, Kyocera KC-85 and NEC 8201

These portable computers have built-in terminal programs in ROM. Consult the computer
documentation for instructions in their use.

2.12.7

IBM PCs, 'Clones' and True Compatibles

AEA's PC-PAKRATT will work with the PK-88 and the IBM-PC, AT and true compatibles.
There are also many commercial, 'shareware' and public domain communications and ter-
minal programs available for the IBM PC family and compatible MS-DOS computers. Al-
most any of these programs can be used successfully with the PK-88.

Specialized terminal programs for Packet-Radio and electronic mail or packet bulletin
board service can be found throughout the Packet-Radio community and can be down-
loaded from Compuserve, GEnie and from many telephone bullet inboards.

A partial list of terminal and BBS programs tested successfully with the PK-88 in-
cludes:

PCPAKRAT, PROCOMM, PROCOMM-PLUS, CROSSTALK, SMARTCOM, RELAY, CTERM, QMO-
DEM, PC-TALK, HAMCOM, PK232COM, ASCII EXPRESS, BITCOM, PACKCOMM, PACKTALK,
RAMPAC, MACPAC, YAPP, WA7MBL V3.x/4.x/5.x, W0RLI V4.5/6.03, KA2BQE PRMBS
VO.97u, AC4XMPC V4.03, and others.

2.13

PBBS, Electronic Mail and File Server Program Compatibility

The PK-88 can be used successfully with a variety of electronic mail programs, as well as
with several PBBS (Packet Bulletin Board) programs written for the PC/MS-DOS computers.
The PK-88 operates with BBS programs by W0RLI, VE3GYQ, WA7MBL, KA2BQE, AC4X and
others.
Please consult the authors of these applications programs directly for information on operat-
ing the PK-88 with their programs. Our Customer Service Department cannot provide this in-
formation.
