WHAT IT DOES
Made for actual connections.
Color and characters
PETSCII/C-G and Color ANSI display work, with CCGMS Future compatibility testing.
Multiple interfaces
A transport abstraction for SuperIO/NetUART, standard serial options, and planned SuperCoCo NativeNet support.
File transfers
XMODEM work is part of the existing development history; disk integration and release packaging are still being validated.
WHY WE BUILD IT
The community is the killer app.
PeTerm connects the software story to the community story. It should feel equally at home on an original CoCo and as part of the next-generation ecosystem we're building.
