My super serial card II arrived in the mail today and I'm having quite a bit of trouble getting it to do anything. I'm trying to use Windows Terminal to type text onto the Apple IIe. I have a straight through cable, and have the jumper block set to TERMINAL. The rest of the settings are 300bps, communications mode, CTS, 1 stop bit, 7 data bits, odd parity, parity disabled.
The super serial card and PC does not need a null modem connection if the SSC is setup right. Set the jumper on the SSC card for the arrowon the jumper block at the back of the card to point down and then you can buy a "modem" cable (9 pin to 25 pin) and hook it up and should be able to talk. I use this setup for ADT to transfer floppies to my Apple. Put the card in slot 1 or 2. Then type in IN#1 or IN#2 and use
hyperterminal from Windows to communicate. It should work.
I have no clue what I'm doing wrong other than not having a null modem cable. I did put the card in Slot 2, as IN#3 must do something completely different than IN#2. When it was in slot 3 and i typed IN#3, it cleared the screen and put a one character vertical bar in the upper left corner.
Hope this helps...
