"Communications Packages for Microcomputers" considers the various ways of transmitting data electronically, whether it be from the microcomputer to the printer, via modems and local area networks, or through commercial services such as Prestel, Telecom Gold and home banking facilities. It explains how to overcome wiring problems, clarifies communications protocols, explains the theory behind data communication, and gives practical help to create a complete communications package. The book provides practical methods, together with actual, tried and tested wiring diagrams on how to connect popular microcomputers and printers (including the IBM PC, Apricot, Sirius, Sinclair QL, Sinclair Spectrum, Epson printers and micros, Brother printers and micros, Apple II and Apple Macintosh) with guidelines on what to do for non-standard machines. It caters for the needs of both the professional user and the amateur hobbyist who may be coming up against the practical task of making microcomputers communicate. The theory and fundamentals of data communications are explained from basic principles. Commercially available communications packages are also discussed in detail.
