SUBJECT : IMP overlay list FROM : Irv Hoff DATE : 06 June 87 IMP is the first (and with the commercial TERM3 the only) modem program that takes advantage of the automatic 1k protocol offered by KMD and XMODEM. It also uses the automatic stepdown feature of the 2400 bps modems to adjust the computer speed to match that of the answering system. (The US Robotics only steps down from 2400 to 1200, not to 300. The Hayes 2400, Racal-Vadic 2400, Paradyne, Prometheus ProModem 2400 and others automatically stepdown from 2400 to 1200 to 300. IMP takes full advantage of this feature.) IMP was originally written for exclusive use with the new 2400 bps modems. It was later expanded to accept 1200 bps modems as well. It never was intended for use with 300 baud modems. At the bottom of this note is a list of the overlays that are currently available for the IMP modem program. There are a number of options which the user may select to cus- tomize IMP to suit his needs. As with nearly any program, there may be things you "wish you could do". We tried to cover many of those, while still keeping the overlays as short and simple as possible for "most of the users". An attempt was made to include enough features to allow the sophisticated user enough tools to write his own routines if/where appropriate, in the overlay. Read the IMP.CUS file for notes on how to select/use some of the features offered in each IMP overlay. (Such as changing the lead-in character for the local commands while in the terminal mode to something other than ESC, etc.) CURRENT IMP OVERLAYS -------------------- I218-4 SB180 MicroMint SB180 (Hitatchi 64180, similar to Z80) I2A2-3 Apple //c with various cards I2A3-3 Apple /// (6551 with built-in baudrate generator) I2AC-2 Actrix computer (Dart at 5.0688 MHz and 8430 CTC timer) I2AD-2 Advanced Digital Super Six (Z80 Dart and 8116) I2AL-3 Altos Series 8000 and Series 5 (Z80 Dart and 8430 CTC timer) I2AM-4 Ampro "Little Board" (Z80 Dart and 8430 CTC timer) I2AP-10 Apple //e universal overlay (2651 for CCP and 6551 for SSC) I2AV-1 Apple //e PCPI Applicard with VERSAcard (6850 ACIA) I2B2-2 Big Board II (Z80 SIO and 8430 CTC timer) I2B3-2 Bondwell 2 laptop portable (8251 and 8253 baudrate generator) I2BT-4 Beehive Topper (Z80 Dart and 8430 CTC timer) I2BW-3 Bondwell 12/14 (Z80 SIO and 8253 baudrate generator I2C8-2 Commodore C128 (no serial port, special handling) I2CC-5 CCS 2719 and CCS 2830 (Z80 Dart and 8430 CTC timer) I2CP-2 CompuPro interfacer 3/4 (2651 w/baudrate generator) I2DA-2 Davidge DST3-4/6 (Z80 and 8430 CTC timer) I2DG-2 Digital Group with IOP (8251A and 8430 CTC timer) I2DM-2 Dynabyte Monarch (Z80 SIO and 8116 baudrate generator) I2DP-2 Datapoint 1560 (8251A and 8430 CTC timer) I2DV-2 Datavue 3000 (Z80 SIO and 8430 CTC timer) I2EA-2 Eagle II and III (Z80 SIO and 8430 CTC timer) I2EP-2 Epson QX-10 (Z80 SIO and Intel 8253) I2EQ-4 Insight Enterprises EQ-4 (Z80 SIO and 8116 baudrate generator) I2FT-2 Facit DTC computers (Z80 SIO and 8430 CTC timer) I2H8-5 Heath/Zenith 89 (8250 w/baudrate generator) I2HZ-6 Heath/Zenith 100 series (2661B, w/baudrate generator) I2KP-2 Kaypro with external modem (Z80 SIO and 8116 baudrate gen.)

If you have a computer not already mentioned, you can perhaps use one of the above that matches your I/O (such as Dart, SIO, 8251, etc.) by selecting the correct ports, etc. Otherwise you can try calling me at the below voice number from 10 am to midnight Pacific, and perhaps we can get something for you to use (then add it to this list for others). - Irv Hoff Los Altos Hills, CA (415) 948-2166
