From: ihnp4!uf-csv!uf-csv.leo@BERKELEY (Leo Wilson [staff]) As far as I can see, your problem is one of cabling. Since when is a 1650 receive only? Run another cable with both TX & RX lines. Seems to work every time for me. Another Kludgy-type fix might be to do waits after carraige returns and cut your poor, sick diablo a break. As I remember, Diablo 1650's require all those soon-to-be obsolete signals like RTS & CTS and DTR & DSR. We have had a diablo 1650 running at 1200 baud for a long while on our Gould machine, so you should have no problem without the flakey Gould Asynchs.... -Leo Wilson Electronics Techn.
