Re: ATTENTION high-speed modem users!

[tbc@netcom.com (Mike Garvey)]

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?

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?)

Be seeing you...
