Using Kermit to transfer files to/from a modern Windows PC
- Hook up a NULL modem cable between the Victor and your PC
- I used a USB-to-Serial 9 pin, a 9-pin to 25-pin NULL modem, and a M-M Gender changer
- My USB-to-Serial needed to be configured to COM2 (any COM1 – COM4 should work if free)
- ON THE VICTOR:
- Boot the Victor with MS-DOS (tested on 2.93, but should work on others)
- Put in a disk with Kermit and free space (or the files you want to send to a PC)
- Start Kermit 1.18
- set baud 19200
- ON THE PC:
- Start Kermit 0.85 for Win32
- Found under Win Utilities / kw32x085.zip here:
- https://www.intergalacticmicro.com/files/index.php/s/hjHb1gWRjPvP1SU
- Configure -> Communications
- Baud Rate: 19200
- Word Length: 8
- Parity: N
- Stop Bits: 1
- Handshake: check Xon/Xoff
- Port: (whatever your PC port is)
- Session -> Connect
- Start Kermit 0.85 for Win32
- ON THE VICTOR:
- receive
- ON THE PC:
- Kermit -> Send
- You can send multiple files at once – just add them to the queue
- Adding *.* will add all files in the selected directory
- Going the other direction is similiar
- type exit to quit kermit on the Victor when done
