Using a Real Modem with ESP32

I have a 'fun' question. I have a USRobotics (new in box) Courier 56K Business Modem. I also have an ESP32 serial card in my CX16. So how would I configure ROMTerm, CX16 and the ESP32 to be able to use a pots line to connect to BBSes with phone numbers? Also, could I use a straight-thru D9 cable (Ma...

Re: X16 Upgrade

Okay, first of all, my CX16 is still functioning because the upgrade went as expected. I found the package file on Discord posted by Xiphod. Thank you for doing that, Xiphod. Now my CX16 was originally delivered to me with ROM: r47, VERA: v47.0.2 and SMC: 47.0.0.0. The firmware in the package is ROM...

Re: X16 Upgrade

Sorry, but most of what you wrote goes over my head. I thought this program was already compiled but it's still in the development stage and not ready for someone at my skill level.

Thank you for working on it and I hope it's easier to use when you release it.

Re: X16 Upgrade

I'm trying to make a package file. I ran X16UPGRADE.PRG and, of course, the program asked to choose a package file. So I closed the program and did DOS"CD:SYSTEM and DOS"CD:CX16FW.UG to get to my project working directory. In that directory, I have 4 files; ROM.BIN, SMC.BIN, VERA.BIN and X...

Re: X16 Upgrade

Thanks for the link and writing this, Stefan. I read the posted procedure and I 'm a little confused. When you mention the 'make latest' command in the project root folder, it goes out and downloads the latest releases. Unless you have an ESP32 network card installed and set up, how does a CX16 find...

Re: Lazer3D CX16 case

If that's how you plan to use your CX16 and Lazer3D case, that's great. At the time the Lazer3D case came out, there weren't any plugin cards for the CX16. But, given the title of this CX16 'Development' board and it has slots to add cards, it seems obvious that there should have been some discussio...

X16 Upgrade

Okay, I've gathered the latest firmware to upgrade my CX16 to R48. I have downloaded ROM 48, VERA 47.0.2, SMC 48.0.0. At present, my CX16 development board has ROM 47, VERA V47.0.2, and SMC 47.0.0. All I need to update are the ROM and SMC. I'm looking for the X16 Upgrade software but it's not mentio...

Re: Lazer3D case

What do you do if you have both the low-profile ESP32 and Dual-MIDI cards plugged in at the same time? This is a development board specifically designed to develop and test new software and hardware. And either card blocks access to the other two plug-in slots?

New SD_Card Image for R48

Hello everyone, I have a quick question. Is there a new SD_Card image for R48? All the SD_Card images I can find appear to be at least 8 months old. I assume the rapid pace of software development in all areas of the CX16 indicates that a lot of the SD_Card applications would be a lot more mature an...

Re: CX16 Community Forums

Update, guess what just arrived? The the Wavetable and Little Dreamer sound cards. There's no documentation with the hardware so what and where can I find software to make use of this new hardware?

Thank you,
Gerry
