Within the last two weeks, my C128D won't upload a file to my WINDOWS
7 laptop using Zmodem. A Zmodem upload terminates with diagnostics
"Zmodem upload aborted!" on the C= and an "illegal message format" on
the PC. Zmodem downloads from the PC to the C= work fine. Xmodem 1k
uploads work fine as well. I am running NOVATERM 10 on the C=, and
HYPERTERM PRIVATE EDITION on the PC. The PC is connected to a USB to
serial adapter and a null modem. On the C=, I have connected the Null
modem to both a user port RS232 adapter and a SWIFTLink cartridge
through the cartridge port. The settings have been 8 data bits,
parity none, 1 stop bit and hardware flow control. The baud rates are
2400 for the user port connection and 38400 for the SL connection.
Any ideas by C= / PC users would be welcome.

You can download NT10 from here:

What is Novaterm 10?
Novaterm 10 is the ill-fated successor to Novaterm9.6, arguably the most popular terminal program ever for the Commodore 64. It is a complete re-write, that works natively on both a c64 or c128.
Novaterm 10 was never finished. It remains beta software. Many drivers & utilities don't exist (compared to 9.6) or are unreliable. For example: user port serial (broken), up9600 interface (missing)
What is here is also unfinished! This is mostly just things I fixed that bugged me, or interesting stuff that I wanted to see working like PPP and the 33 row screen mode. I don't know the NT10 source code that well, only the stuff that I wanted to fix like the screen drivers, terminal emulation and a few others. Getting it the way it should be would require a major rewrite due to many architectural problems (lack of memory for example, that the kernals remain switched in, horrible NMI handling etc etc etc).
Due to work & other commitments, Nick Rossi eventually gave up on NT10. However I did offer to help him with it and what you find here are the results of my work. The main things I did were:

I'd also like it to work it BOTH Telnet & 33,600 Dialup settings as I have a Haynes Century 200-16 Modem Rack that I'd like to eventually configure each individual modem in it for different purposes (ideally one for dialing out, one for taking incoming calls to the bbs, one for sending out data and one for bringing in data, etc,etc). I dunno how to go about doing all this, but an awesome terminal program that can do all these things for me would help me to decide where I want to go with this for certain.
I also am still seeking a Lantronix Device for Telnetting. I had a UDS-10, but I want to get a UDS-200 now as they are faster, more reliable, more compatible, and they have a larger buffer in them!!!! So I traded away my uds-10 so I can buy a uds-200 in the near future.
Great job so far!

I am not an NT10 developer. I don't think there will be "MAJOR" additions to NT10. For future development, you may want to refer to the WEB page that I gave in an earlier post. Up until I developed my ZMODEM problems, the current NT10 stage of development is all that I needed. I am having similar problems with NT9.6. My next step is to bring my spare C128D down from my Bermuda triangle and see if that will fix the problem.
