Hi,
I am about to send for my 48 but I need a couple of answers first. Any help
earns eternal gratitude (no money sorry :-) ).
I hav access to both IBM's and Apple's. The IBM is a friend's the Apple
is mine. I am thinking about buying an IBM interface kit ( maybe we'll share
the cost ) and then making an adapter to make the cable fit my Apple //c port.
But I don't know anything about interfacing. I also don't have the pinouts
for the cable at the IBM end. My connector for the Apple//c is a 5-pin DIN.
The pin assignments are (pins numbered clockwise):
1 DTR Data Terminal Ready
2 TD Transmit Data
3 GND Power and Signal Common
4 RD Read Data
5 DSR Data Set Ready
I understand the cable comes with a DB-9 connector (male). I want to rig
up a piece of cable with a femaleDB-9 on one end and a male 5-pin DIN to go
to my //c on the other. This way I can just plug it into the cable supplied
with the interface to use my //c with kermit and just use the cable alone when
I am using the IBM. Anyone out there who can help just email me. Thanks.
