My brother recently upgraded from a C64 to an Amiga. Trouble is, his C64 printer won't work with an Amiga, so we want to set up the C64 as a printer buffer. The big hurdle in doing this is converting the C64's serial port to RS-232. We want to build our own converter to do this. Has anyone out there built their own RS-232 adapter? We've got the basics figured out. We have a 1488/1489 set. We can see how to power them. But we're getting confused on which pins of the CIA chip to use. Another thing, how does the Amiga do hardware handshaking? CD? DTR? RTS/CTS? (I don't have his manuals so I can't look for myself.) Any and all help will be greatly appreciated! -- Edward C.
