Re: ADT Pro without handshake

[Kevin <kevin@hackaday.com>]

Its not a question if flow control is needed, I know its not. The apple side polls the buffer, the avr, which is running 16x the speed is too, and I have been abusing the crap out of it since September. everything is very stable.

the question is, acc to the ADTpro documentation, on a //c cable CTS and RTS are tied together in the cable to null out those hardware handshakes, is it needed on other machines? and should I tie those lines together on the PCB?

so tomorrow when I wake up, the first thing I will do after a cup of tea is clip the line, if it makes a difference in my //c then I will include it on the PCB, if not then it wont matter anyway
