Ok, I'm trying to follow these instructions:
Alternative PC Setup
On the PC, start a comm program, set it for 300 baud N81, and
ASCII-upload (not Xmodem or any other protocol but a straight text
upload). Using HyperTerm, you would click on "Transfer" and do a
"Send Text File". (See the example below.)
Example: For Hyperterm, go to the File menu and set up a New Connection
profile. It should be "Direct to COM 1" (or whatever COM port you use.
Configure for 8 bits, No Parity, 1 Stop bit, 300 baud. Set Flow Control
to "None". Other settings- Emulation can be TTY and, in ASCII Setup,
nothing should be checked in the "ASCII Sending" area. I have just "Wrap
lines that exceed terminal width" checked in ASCII Receiving. Set
Line Delay to about 400 ms.
Once you telecom program is set up, you can boot a DOS 3.3 diskette
on the IIgs and set up things as described earlier. From the Applesoft
prompt enter IN#2.
On the PC comm program, select a Text or ASCII transfer (e.g. like
Send Text File if using HyperTerm) and pick the file adtgs.dmp to send.
On your IIgs screen, you should see code being entered. The process
should end with ADT being BSAVEd on your DOS 3.3 diskette.

I have purchased a Mac modem cable
(http://catalog.belkin.com/IWCatProductPage.process?
Merchant_Id=&Section_Id=15&pcount=&Product_Id=16154#)
I also have a PC Null Modem cable that goes from the 9 pin serial com
port on the backplane of the pc to a 25 pin connector that plugs into
the modem cable exactly.
When I type in IN#2 on the IIgs, the ] prompt comes right back and when
I hit SEND in Hyperterminal nothing happens on either system.
When I type in PR#2 on the IIgs, the ] prompt goes away and the cursor
sits on the screen just blinking. When I type on the IIgs keyboard, the
PC hyperterminal screen displays weird characters. It is me typing, but
the characters are screwed up.
I know the connection is working because I can SEND from IIgs to PC
(though it's screwed up). However, I cannot SEND from the PC to the
IIgs. What am I doing wrong?
Can anyone assist?
