The ZX Interface 1's ROM code has a feature where BREAK key presses will interrupt any receive operations and send a BREAK to the system, sending you to BASIC. This only affects 48k Spectrum users. This build attempts to fix this by scanning for the SHIFT-SPACE key combination (which seems to happen when pressing space while also trying to receive RS232 data), and skipping over RS232 reception while it is pressed. \r\n\r\nLet's see if this works, Please test, and let me know. -Thom\r\n\r\nOn this page, you will find tape images for PLATOTerm to be used with the ZX Spectrum computer, and an appropriate RS232 interface. \r\n\r\nSpectranet users do not use this tape, as it is not needed. You can simply load PLATOTerm directly from IRATA.ONLINE via Spectranet.\r\n\r\nCurrently two RS-232 interfaces are supported:\r\n\r\n* ZX Interface 1\r\n* ZX Spectrum +, 128K, and +2, +3 RS-232 port.\r\n\r\nYou will also need a device that connects the RS-232 port to the internet. Common options here include an RS-232 wifi modem, or connecting a Raspberry Pi running TCPSER (http://github.com/tschak909/tcpser) to the port.\r\n\r\nLoading\r\n---------\r\nSince this is a tape image, it should be copied to the appropriate medium for your computer. Since there are many ways to do this, it is not mentioned in the scope of this document.\r\n\r\nOnce you've inserted your created tape, you can load the software in the usual manner:\r\n\r\nLOAD \"\"\r\n\r\nUsing PLATOTerm\r\n--------------------\r\nPLATOTerm will then display a splash screen, indicating that it is ready for use. \r\n\r\n![image](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/2759782/46096942-25472c80-c186-11e8-909c-1f8c762f87d9.png)\r\n\r\nOnce you see this splash screen, the terminal is ready for use, and you can send commands to your WIFI modem, to connect to a PLATO service, such as IRATA.ONLINE:\r\n\r\nATDTIRATA.ONLINE:8005\r\n\r\nor, CYBER1.ORG\r\n\r\nATDTCYBERSERV.ORG:8005\r\n\r\nFor this initial testing release, the baud rate is set to 4800BPS, if this baud rate proves too problematic, please file an issue, and I will add in preferences to set the baud rate and cut a new release.\r\n\r\nPLATO Keyboard\r\n-------------------\r\nThe PLATO keyboard is mapped to the Spectrum keys, like so:\r\n\r\n| PLATO KEY  \t| ZX Key  \t|\r\n|---\t|---\t|\r\n| ANS  \t| EXTEND-A  \t|\r\n| BACK  \t| EXTEND-B  \t|\r\n| SHIFT-BACK | EXTEND-SHIFT-B |\r\n| COPY | EXTEND-C |\r\n| SHIFT-COPY | EXTEND-SHIFT-C  |\r\n| DATA | EXTEND-D |\r\n| SHIFT-DATA | SHIFT-EXTEND-D |\r\n| EDIT | EXTEND-E |\r\n| SHIFT-EDIT | SHIFT-EXTEND-E |\r\n| FONT | EXTEND-F |\r\n| &#247; | EXTEND-G | \r\n| HELP | EXTEND-I |\r\n| SHIFT-HELP | SHIFT EXTEND-H |\r\n| LAB | EXTEND-L |\r\n| SHIFT-LAB | SHIFT-EXTEND-L |\r\n| SUPER | EXTEND-P |\r\n| SHIFT-SUPER | SHIFT EXTEND-P |\r\n| SQUARE | EXTEND-Q | \r\n| ACCESS | SHIFT EXTEND-Q |\r\n| STOP | EXTEND-S |\r\n| SHIFT-STOP | SHIFT EXTEND-S | \r\n| TERM | EXTEND-T |\r\n| &#215; | EXTEND-X |\r\n| SUB | EXTEND-Y |\r\n| SHIFT-SUB | SHIFT EXTEND-Y |\r\n| Get Key Help | EXTEND 0 |\r\n\r\nAs mentioned in the table above, Pressing EXTEND 0 gives you a menu of keys, asking you to input which one for which you want the equivalent ZX spectrum keypress.\r\n\r\nProblems?\r\n-----------\r\nThis is early release software. If you have problems, please raise an issue, and I will address them and cut a new release. I am releasing this early and often so that everyone can test, and we can in the end, end up with a better piece of software, faster.\r\n"}}
