[comp.sys.amiga.hardware] Serial Line

diamond@hubcap.clemson.edu (David Lee) (04/06/91)

I am trying to run a serial line between my amiga 1000 and a tandy 3000.
So far I have set the send and receive lines crossed and the ground line
connected:

	Tandy	Amiga
	  2	  3
	  3 	  2
	  7	  7  (Gnd).


I cannot get any evidence that the connection is working...
I have procomm running as a host on the tandy.

Is this all that is required for a null modem line between the amiga
and computer X?

Should I have certain setups in preferences on the amiga?


Any help would be appreciated....

Hardware is not my ticket, unfortunately...


Thanks in advance ...

You may have to run procomm in the host mode. crtl-q will enter this
mode.  It will ask the user to login and for a pass word.  Pressing
enter at both prompts will establish communication between the machines
assuming you have a comm program runnning on the AMIGA.  Xon Xoff mode
will work.  Make sure both comm programs have the same baud rate,
start-stop bits, parity check and word length, (7 or 8 bit).

Rots of ruck.  Usual denials and caveat emptor.  This advice is worth
what it cost...

	Try :

	Tandy		Amiga
	1		1
	2		3
	3		2
	7		7

	These are the minumum pins required for a Null Modem....

	The full Null Modem is:


	Prot. Grnd  1--------------------------------1 Prot. Grnd
	TX data	    2--------------------------------3 RX data
	RX Data     3--------------------------------2 TX Data
	Req to send 4--------------------------------8 Carrier Detect
	Clr to send 5--------------------------------8 Carrier Detect
	DSR         6--------------------------------20 Data Terminal Ready
	Signal Grnd 7--------------------------------7 Signal Grnd
	Carrier     8--------------------------------4 Req to send
	Carrier     8--------------------------------5 Clr to send
	DTR        20--------------------------------6 Data Set ready
	DTR        20--------------------------------22 Ring Indicate
	Ring Ind.  22--------------------------------6 DSR 
	Ring Ind.  22--------------------------------22 Ring Indicate
