is this the same cable as you helped me with (bradw lost gonzo) for our
attempt
at putting up the bbsgateway method of using an apple //gs on a pc?..also am
i
better off using the gs port on this or should i pop in a super serial
card..? which
works best? super serial card?

also this is completely hardware driven right? or are there some kinda
settings for
the pc to see the de-311? or some other silly settings i need to know
(assuming i can
find the beast...i find just copying terry's stuff hardware/software the
easy way to
muck thru this stuff...dense that i am)

lastly the bbs gateway program is not involved in any of this setup? again
hard
ware more/less solution?


anyway that are my guestions so far (i'm sure i'll have more)
