Just a small observation.
RPM works just fine for anyone with any network connectivity. HECnet is
not required.
And speaking of BASIC+2 V2.7, not only do I have a correct tape. I also
have some patches for some minor things, that I'd recommend people grab.
BASIC+2 should identify as V2.7C when installed.

>
> Base system
>
> * The RH disk controller used to only work with RP06 images. It
> now also works with RP04/RP05, RM05, and RP07. Also, it supports
> the Setasi/Shelby RP12 RM06 layout of 64 sectors, 32 tracks that
> will work with RSX-11MPlus for disk images up to 2GByte(with
> thanks to Johnny Billquist for the info and help), and a
> synthetic 64 sector, 64 track drive that works with 2.11BSD. The
> controller still only supports one disk drive at a time though
> (and I don't think I'll fix that soon).
> * Images for the 'artificial' drive types (RM06, RP2G) can be
> created by a modified version of simh that supports the new
> drive geometry. This has been tested up to a size of 2Gb (larger
> will not currently work). I haven't published the required
> (relatively minor) changes yet, but will try to do so soon.
> * The serial link driver did not work very well if it would
> receive short stop bits from the other end - potentially leading
> to garbled characters. It should now be lots more stable and
> capable of higher speed. The issue was analyzed by Steve Falco
> (thanks!).

> MINC
>
> * MINC now supports up to 64 A/D channels; the A/D channels
> present on the board are the lowest numbered channels, and all
> higher numbered channels are available to insert values
> into MINC that are obtained from other sources like sensors,
> other types of A/D converter, computed data, etc - as long as
> they more or less fit in a 12-bit signed integer.
> * All MNC module types can be configured to the maximum the
> software can handle: 1 MNCAD, 2 MNCKW, 4 MNCAA, 4 MNCDI and 4
> MNCDO. That means 16 DA channels, and 64 digital input and
> output channels - plus some control signals.
> * The logic in MNCDI for detecting state changes has been
> corrected; the previous version would only detect rising edge
> changes.
> * A driver for the PMOD DA4 (Analog Devices AD5628-1) has been
> added, next to the PMOD DA2 that was already available.
> * A driver for the PMOD NAV (Microchips LSM9DS1 and LPS25HB). The
> digital barometer in LPS25HB will likely feature in a future
> project for a weather station.
> * A driver for the PMOD HYGRO (TI HDC1080). The temperature and
> humidity sensors will also be useful for a future weather station.
> * A driver for the PMOD COLOR (AMS TCS3472). This sensor allows to
> determine the color temperature, and hence elegantly establish
> if the sun is shining or if there are clouds.
> * A driver for the ADXL345 accelerometer that is present on the
> DE0-Nano boards.
>
>
> VT100/VT105
>
> * The terminals now support double width and double height characters.
> * Automatic XOFF/XON has been added, and a bug has been fixed that
> would result in the receiver code to become stuck on overrun.
> * The terminals now support character attribute resetting in the
> VT200 style. This helps when using the terminals with current
> software that uses reverse video and assumes a VT200+
> type terminal (like most Linux setups do).
> * A bug has been fixed that caused the first character on a new
> line at the bottom of a scroll region to be replaced by a blank.
