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

Hi Bill,

I think the ZRC has just a single serial port, right? ZMP requires that the communication port be different from the console port. It looks like Phil has implemented the ZMP serial driver so that communication port A is actually the second serial port in the system. Port B would be third serial port. So, I suspect the initialization error is simply that there is no serial port there.

@Phil: It looks like ZMP has some concept for choosing the communication port, but I was unable to figure it out. Do you know how to choose ZMP port B, etc.?

Thanks,

Wayne
