[is the line-eater bug just a myth foisted upon us by the old-timers?] Greetings, Atarians! Anybody out there have one of these things? Quoting from the July 84 Antic: "The R-verter allows you to use most modems and other RS232 devices with your computer without using an interface module. The software package includes a smart-terminal emulator and an RS232 device handler. It requires no other peripherals, doesn't use a joystick port, and comes with a built-in 3-foot cable. It's said to be compatible with any RS232 device that accepts TTL-level inputs (most do)." I'd like to connect my Signalman Mark I stupid modem to my 800, but I don't have the $50 to spend on this device. I can make my own cable, but I need a pointer to some PD terminal software that will do this, if such a thing exists. Thanks. -- Bob Mitchell UCLA Dept of Neurology uucp: { {ihnp4, uiucdcs}!bradley, hao, trwrb}!cepu!mitch ARPA: cepu!mitch@ucla-cs
