HELP! I have an Apple Serial Card (*NOT* super serial card, just serial card)
but I am lacking the DIP switch description. A friend here has figured/found
some of them, but I would like to know the rest and verify that which I know.
If you know ANY of the settings, please e-mail them to me. Don't think that
someone else would have sent them to me already -- my experience has been that
there will be NO response for the first two weeks AT LEAST.
I don't mind getting 100 different people to drop me a line. That would be
wonderful, trust me.
Thanks in advance....

Sorry, I can't help with the dip switches, but one thing I have learned
from reading my Super Serial Card manual is that the SSC replaced TWO
earlier Apple cards, the Serial Card (used as an OUTPUT card -- to drive
a printer) and the Com Card (used as in INPUT card -- to work with a
modem).
Hence, the Serial Card is NOT wired to be used with a Modem. It might
work anyway with a "null modem" cable (one with the connections to pins
2 and 3 reversed), but I don't know if it's address space is the same
as for the Com Card in that configuration (I wouldn't be surprised to find
that it was, however).

Are you sure that the Serial Card was the OUTPUT and the Com Card the INPUT? Hooking up the Apple to an IBM (therefore canceling the need for a null modem, according to this philosophy) resulted in characters send from the IBM being caught by the Apple when using IN#n. However, sending characters when using PR#n on the Apple did NOT result in any characters produced on the IBM in terminal mode. {BTW, this is the Serial Card being discussed- I will save Com card problems until mine is finished :-) ). Using Kermit and AE Pro resulted in nothing at all, except a continuous stream of '{'s on the Apple end, when configured as a Com card. Any clues?
