In a great piece of software asymmetry, I've found that XMODEM5 supports sending files using xmodem-1k, but rx on linux doesn't support xmodem-1k.

zmodem's file name support was magic. Use a terminal that auto-detected incoming downloads, you didn't have to worry about missing a download

Hi Guys, Need some help with this...

Zmodem send works but I can't get receive to work.

Would someone be able to try this out and confirm they get the same results? You need a second serial port to try this.

I, too, need help.

extract mecparts.lbr with LU310.com to drive A
I modified ZmodemWinSize=4096
My hardware is ZRC with 14.7MHz clock running a version of ROMWBW that loads ROM & RAM contents to 2meg DRAM. The serial port is emulated 68B50.

When run ZMP, I get:

Initializing port ...
Unable to initialize port A

I had tried these settings on my machine

ZmodemDataLen=128
ZmodemWinSize=4096

which improved but did not resolve the issue.

I tried swapping the CIO order but that is giving me some weirdness, so it looks like an issue with my machine/configuration.

Did you want submit ass an app or as a build package for romwbw?

The version of zmodem I have attached is https://github.com/mecparts/zmp which is re-implementation of zmp based on the last available code release of Ron Murray's zmp.
One of the changes in this reimplemetation is that it does not support multiple ports. i.e. it only supports console and one comm. port.

The driver still supports ability to switch ports (Two comm. ports - A & B) and can be used with the original zmp but both versions do require a separate comms. port for the transfer, separate to the console.

This is the original Ron Murray zmp15 with the romwbw overlay that supports port switching.

This does not work for me either. overlay may be slightly different to original one I posted.

Regards Phil.

Edit:removed - still had debug code in it. will reupload later.

So you need two serial ports for this to work.

This is really testing my memory, but I thought I saw that there was a variant of ZMP that was specifically intended for "dial in" operation. This would mean that it would be launched from and use the console port. It would not require the second serial port.

Have you seen such a thing? I may go looking for it later. I assumed it used the same overlay structure, so would be easy to adapt your current work.

Thanks,

Wayne

Hi,
OK my memory is pretty rusty on this too. What is BYE support?

Wayne,

My ancient memory was sparked...

The remote version of Ron Murray's Z-Modem was called RZMP - and it required BYE support.

You can find it on the Walnut Creek CD for CP/M - look for rzmp16.lbr

Hello Andrew,

There is a program called FIFOPIPE. It's developed by William Sowerbutts.
I never used it (but want too, when I get my Z80 up-and-running).

Don't know if it works standalone of in conjunction with his USB FIFO board.
