Hi folks,
I've started to look into hooking up pdp11gui to my 11/45 w/ M9301. Does
anybody here know how the console DL11 should be configured for this
wrt. data bits, parity, stop-bits? I haven't seen this mentioned in the
documentation or tutorials.
thanks,
--FritzM.

Console DL11 configuration (baud, #data, #stop, parity) needs to match that of
the PC (baud, #data,#stop,parity) that is running PDP11GUI, and vice versa.
9600-8N2 on each end would be a good place to start (fastest baud rate, 8b, no
parity) as it is very common.
Mostly PDP11GUI does not care, either 7b or 8b. Other characteristics (#stop,
#parity, baud) need to match DL11 vs PC.

Right. So far I haven't seen any place in PDP11GUI to set anything
other than port and baud rate, so I'm not sure what exactly its using
for configuration on that end. I'll try 8N2 on the DL11 side as see
what happens. My DL11 is 7E1 right now and the M9301 emulator works to
my VT52, but I haven't had any luck yet getting PDP11GUI or a terminal
emulator on my laptop to talk to it.
I'm finding it somewhat ironic that I managed the entire 11/45 CPU and
memory system debug without too much difficulty, and now I've been stuck
on the damn RS-232 link for over a day :-) Time to give up and scope it
I guess...
