anyone ever use a USB/Serial cable to connect to an Altair? I am trying
to connect my 680b to my windows 7 computer via hyper-terminal to no
avail. Any special settings I should be aware for terminal settings
(currently using 9600, 8 data bits, 1 stop bits, NONE for parity and
flow control).
Also, anyone know where I can get the ROM files for a 680b?
Have you examined the 680 schematics (available on the web)?
A 680 can be configured in a number of ways, including various
baud rates, signaling schemes (rs-232 is just one of three
choices) and the firmware may be ASCII or Baudot. You need to
do much more investigation than "just plug it in".
