Hahaha. Exactly. and that any off-topic BS always
takes precedence over
real technical problems. Of course. :)
How is a discussion of the RS232 intreface and tools/equipment to get it
working off-topic? Like it or not, the RS232 interface is commonly
available on classic computers, meeting vairous 'standards' :-). there
are laos, I beilve RS232 interfacesa for more modern machines (I am sure
I've seen USB-RS232 cables). Linijng classic computers toghetr, or
linking them to modern machiens for the purposes of data transfer (either
archiving that whihc is on the calssic machine, or transfering software
from the web (say) orto the classic mahcine) would
appeer to be 100% _on_
topic.
