That's the nice thing about ADT. Practically any cable will work as long
as the TD<>RD and RD<>TD lines are connected. Oh and the ground. On my
2c, I use a simple 3 wire cable for ADT. Of course, it works for Proterm
v2 also since the 2c does very little handshaking.

On my GS, I use a more sophisticated null modem cable with a SSC. Well,
not a lot more sophisticated. It is still TD<>RD and RD<>TD, ground and
RTS<>CTS, CTS<>RTS. The trick to all of this is making certain you have
the correct pins. I've seen some pinouts that wound up being backwards.

Have you fed your Apple today?

It seems the ZIP.TO link was down for a while.
It is now working again. This is the preferred
