Any good sources for routine and/or user information about the Horizon?
Except that it adds a few minor additional interfacing variables. If I
get NOTHING, would I assume that it's a problem with the N*, or could it
be configuring of HYPERTERMINAL? I think that the FIRST step, that of
getting a character or two through, would best be accomplished with the
simplest terminal available. I have a lunchbox machine; I should see if
it has a working serial port, and try something like PROCOMM.
I have frequently used the PC as a terminal for the machines that require
one. So far, there have been no problems ... except for the minor details of
knowing how the serial port was hardwired configured (baud, data bits,
parity, stop bits), and if a nul modem cable is required. And of course,
that problem remains regardless of what is connected to the serial port.
And I
need to bring up a terminal, or configure
something to function as a terminal.
A PC with comms software is nice as you can
use the logging feature to
save scribbling notes as you bring it up.
