I have some questions about connecting a serial terminal to the amiga, I have
a Ampex D150 terminal which seems to be working perfectly but i can't get it
to communicate with the Amiga.
Questions:
1. How should the terminal be wired to the amiga ? (the terminal has a RS232C
port. I tried every connection that seemed logical to me, eg pin 2 to 3,
pin 3 to 2, pin 7 to 7; Also i tried to use DSR/DTR, RTS/CTS, but it didn't
work. :-( )
2. What kind of handshaking should I use ? XON/XOFF ? RTS/CTS ? none ?
3. What is the best baudrate to use ? (The terminal supports 16 speeds up to
19.200 bps)
4. What can one do with debug() (and loadwb -debug) ? Does it just print the
pc and registers on the terminal or does it allow some primitive peeking
in memory ?
5. What other programs beside loadwb -debug are there to allow debugging/
monitoring from a terminal ?
6. Are there any real (read: NOT ed or edit) editors one can use on the
terminal, eg will stevie, elvis etc. work ?
Please help, i REALLY want to have this thing working !
