If the data is ASCII text the Dr. can just use a terminal
program with file logging, and go around typing all the
files, then close and cut up the log.
I tried to use the serial port to communicate to a PC
without any sucess.
You could describe the experience in more detail,
that would help.
This does require:
correct wiring. A 25 pin to 9 pin RS232 with null modem.*
matching speed and parity on both sides. use 9600 baud, 8 bits, no parity
log-in ability on the PDP's serial port. try using the console port.
Kermit or another terminal emulator on the PC side.
* 25 pin serial connectors were the most common for PDPs
let us know if that isn't what you have.
