Well, I finally finished the MAX233 based User Port
Serial interface
(it was basically finished Sunday). In case anyone is curious, here
are a couple pictures.
Nice job. However, if you really want the bomb as far as RS-232 on the
Commodore, consider a SwiftLink, Turbo232 or other 6551 ACIA-based
cartridge (there are plans on the web for building your own clone, too).
I'm working on a library that will let you use a Lantronix UDS-10 (or
compatible unit) and a 6551 to do easy TCP transactions. I've got it
doing Gopher protocol, and I'm going to add on some guts to make DNS
queries easier. Once I get it working on the 6551-based cartridges, I will
expand it to the user port, probably with George Hug's routines (but
limited to 2400bps).
