Has anyone tested the following configuration? I have a system
running SCO Xenix 2.3.2, and would like to be able to run a Texas
Instruments TI-810 printer, with a standard AT serial port. I
have tried to configure various RS-232 cables and have had no
luck, though I have on an Altos system. On the AT serial port, I
am using the 9 pin serial port.
I am having a flow-control problem. My understanding from
reading the TI-810 manual, that the printer only supports DTR,
and will not support Xon/Xoff.
My configuration is as follows:
System Printer System Printer
9pin 25pin 9pin 25pin
- cable 2----------2 2----------2
3----------3 3----------3
5----------7 5----------7
6----------20 6----------11
|---6 |--6
|---8 |--8
|---9 |--9
If someone is able to assist me, I would appreciate your
technical information.
