Re: ADT Question

The IIgs serial port (easily understood diagram) can be found
specifically under section 9 for the pin out FAQ.

My best suggestion for you is to take a modem cable from each machine
and hook the ends together with a null modem plug from Radio Shack. 
Save yourself some headache.

Ok, I looked it up on www.RadioShack.com and I do not see null modem
plugs, so use a cable instead.  Order these two cables, plug them in end
to end and then into your computers for serial communications using ADT
or modem software to transfer files.  :)

PC Null modem cable  #950-0189  (9F to 25F, $6) or 
                     #950-0183  (25F to 25F, $6)
Mac(IIgs) modem cable #950-0109  (Mac to 25M, $7)

I am not familiar with the other cable that uses the game port and
parallel port on a PC, but I can tell you that the joystick port and the
game port inside are the same electrically for the most part.  Apple II
pin outs can be found here.

>I have an Apple IIgs with no system software. I don't have a super serial card. The only thing I have is the round modem connector on that back and also the 9pin game port. The ADT docs are confusing about the pin numbering on the round modem connector, I don't know which #'s represent which pins
are physically on the connector...
...so I tried ap2222pc and Apple II oasis, a utility to use the game
port to transfer data, but the schematics are confusing. Do I connect
the 25 pin cable to the internal game port connector (see other post
with just the pic attached), or the external 9 pin one? Looking at the
docs for Apple II disk
server (part of apple II oasis) and the ap2222pc docs (lineconn.doc),
since they both show a chip socket type connector such as the one on my
IIgs mobo, I'm assuming that's where I connect it to, but I'm not sure.
Please help, I just want to make sure that I'm not gonna fry my GS...
