Yes, I know circa 1985 I used the standard Unix termcaps for the M100
and the C-64 over 300 baud links.
Do you know if anyone makes these cables and sells
them? Or, barring that,
any specific links to the assembly instructions?
Sure, some people on the net try to sell them, but they're easy to
wire if you can find the DIN connector. I did one in a few minutes
after digging for the DIN in the junk box. Worked the first time.
See <http://ftp.funet.fi/pub/cbm/transfer/1541-to-PC/> for more info.
I can't begin to tell you how easy and rewarding it can be to dig
around on the web, following one clue to another. If you entered
"x1541" or "1541 pc" in <http://www.hotbot.com> or any other
search engine, or <http://www.dejanews.com>, I'm sure you'd
quickly find dozens of references.
