Message-ID: <1992Nov12.022902.16202@netcom.com> Organization: Netcom - Online Communication Services (408 241-9760 guest) References: <83209@ut-emx.uucp> Date: Thu, 12 Nov 1992 02:29:02 GMT Lines: 36 Paul "The Oggman" Parkhurst says that the cable he mentioned in his "HST Speed" articles (described below) neatly sidesteps this problem with the CTS signal and the HSKi line; this cable basically uses the GPi line to support the CTS signal. Is it possible that more software (PT3, METAL, ProLine/ModemWorks, GNO's drivers) be modified to work with this cable? Apple IIGS to Modem - Flow-control IIGS (DIN-8) Modem (DB-25) ----------------------------- 1 (HSKo) ------> 4 (RTS) | --> 20 (DTR) 2 (HSKi) <------ 8 (DCD) 3 (TxD-) ------> 2 (TxD) 5 (RxD-) <------ 3 (RxD) 7 (GPi) <------ 5 (CTS) 4 (GND) <-----> 7 (GND) | 8 (RxD+) <-- Note: I have added the extra connections to pin-4 (RTS) at the modem and pin-8 (RxD+) at the serial port. Paul's cable originally didn't include these connections (in fact, he's had a problem with connecting pin-8) but I included them in keeping with the design of other Apple II modem-cables (i.e. InSync's) which indicate that these signals should be connected. (Wanders off mumbling something about so what do y'all think?)
