Re: help needed installing USB to Serial Cable for ADTPro

Not great news :( The computer recognized the serial port on COM5 and ADTPro says that it is connected. I am using the null modem cable from RetroFloppy for the //c and the Radioshack cable with the Prolific chipset (I switched over to this one because I thought this problem was caused by the

Re: Tektronix Terminal Emulation

I'm trying to return to the computing days of yesteryear when people hooked graphics terminals to VAXes. I don't have a Tektronix graphics terminal but I do have a MicroVax II and a laptop running Debian Linux. Up to now I've been using the laptop as a console device and connecting to the

Okay, it's working the ugreen one. I did a stupid and dropped the RXTXComm file in the wrong place. Well, since all sales are final at Radioshack these days, I've got an extra cable... Thanks again. If I didn't look into the things suggested, I probably wouldn't have found my screw-up! Joe

I can't run DecWindows on a MicroVax II with 11MB of memory, so I loaded the basic support files for DecWindows. Are you sure? I can run the old XUI DecWindows on VMS 5.5-2 (the newest VMS that will support XUI) in monochrome on a VaxStation 2000 with just 6MB. It's not very fast but it

The cable is branded "Ugreen." I've had difficulties with USB to RS232 adapters in the past, which is why I bought it from the ADTPro website. I figured that it would be more likely to work straight away. When I stare at device manager and pull out the cable. nothing happens. If I scan for

If you stare at the Device Manager and pull the USB/Serial adapter do the "Unknown Device" and "Base System Device" disappear? Who is the manufacturer of the USB/Serial cable? On Fri, Mar 10, 2017 at 11:39 PM, Joe Giliberti via cctalk < cctalk@classiccmp.org> wrote: > Greetings! > I am trying

I've tried many different things. xterm does do the TEK emulation. Inside of xterm I can connect to the Vax with kermit. seyon is part of Debian and claims to do what I want, but I haven't got it to work yet. Complaints about 'No profile with UUID or name Seyon exists'. Someone else said
