I have a big question, although it may be small to some of you.
How do I access the serial port with software??? Specifically how do I
read raw data from the port? How do I set data and stop bits?
I have an IBM-PC clone and want to transfer data from my PC to my NeXTcube
and I'm not having any luck doing so.
I need to get The Formatter to my cube to format a drive. I can get the
file from the mainframe that I'm on, but I have no way of getting it to
my cube besides the serial port.
Also does anyone know the correct way to connect the NeXTcube ('030) to a
PC via the serial port.
I need help very bad.
Thank you, Kent

Thank you, all that sent me mail on the subject. I have more than enough information to get started. I don't have access to my cube from the outside world that's why I needed to write the serial stuff myself. I now have PC-NFS and I am going to try to get my PC talking to my cube. If I can get it to work I will no longer need a cube floppy, or serial transfer stuff. Wish me luck. Thanks again, KeNT. -- /* -The opinions expressed are my own, not my employers. */ /* For I can only express my own opinions. */ /* */ /* Kent L. Shephard : email - kls30@DUTS.ccc.amdahl.com */
