Hello DB25 and DB9.....Real serial ports!!!
I tend to use minicom for emulating a serial terminal though I did play with screen for a while. Minicom sets the baud rate etc. jonathan.y...@mykopat.slu.se ________________________________________ Från: M100 [m100-boun...@lists.bitchin100.com] för Paul Bucalo [pm...@aol.com] Skickat: den 27 april 2017 15:17 Till: m100@lists.bitchin100.com Ämne: [M100] Questions regarding Full Null Modem Cables, specif Serial to USB I would like to use a spare PC workstation as a repository for files and programs, to be accessed by a Model 100. I used to have a null modem cable I made up years ago. (Alas, that got thrown out in the last Great Hardware Purge.) I've read about the use of a null modem cable with a USB connector at the PC end. The workstations I could choose from all have either DB25 or DB9 serial ports, so this is a matter of what works best/easier in syncing. All my computers run under flavors of Ubuntu Linux. I do run Windows in a VM on a couple of PCs, but really have no interest in connecting via a VM and to Windows. (I understand gtkterm is a good terminal choice for the Linux side.) And lastly, in regard to buying a pre-made cable: would I be correct in assuming any product labeled "Full Null Modem", "...with Full Handshake", would be adequate for the task? TIA! ~ Paul
