Re: ADT 1.22 Difficulties - what's wrong?



Well, I'm at a loss and am about ready to give up.  It seems there is a
component somewhere that is not working properly.  I can't get ANYTHING
to work in terminal mode, and the only thing that works thus far as far
as establishing communications between the PC and the Apple, results in
the problem I was plagued with from the beginning (hence my original
message).  The author of ADT indicated there may be null characters
being added to the data, somehow, but I have found no way to turn them
off.  I have three other PCs - two notebooks (one '286 and one pentium
133) and a desktop (AMD K6 233) - and I have been unsuccessful at
getting ADT to function at all with any of them (although I did get IN#2
to receive data from a comm program on the '286 notebook, which uses a
DB-9 connector).  Perhaps the handshaking is not correct, though the
cable is wired as per ADT documentation specs.  Not sure what to do at
this point, besides kicking it over a cliff somewhere.
