Re: Cannot get ADT to work
I had same problem as you did getting garbages on apple side.
the solution was setting dip switchs on super serial card right.
all you gotta do is do as what adt document says and when you set the dip
switchs on your super serial card turn the hand shake switch to "off"
position. good luck.
