OK, finally got my girlfriend's 286 to use as a serial console to
my Classic II =) Is there anything unusual about the cable I need to use
to connect them? I'm assuming the serial cable on a PS/2 Model 50 is the
male DB-25, so my two options are:
- the cable from the Newton Connection Kit For Windows.. anyone know if this
would work?
- an ordinary Mac modem cable (do I need HW Handshaking?), with a DB-25
Female to Female coupler
(DB-25 is what an ordinary RS-232 port uses)
Anyone tell me which of these would work? (From experience/guess)
Thanks,
David Bushong
