016- I've heard that I can use some sort of printer cable to do
NULL modem transfers with between my IIc and a PC. Which cable?
Get an "Apple IIc to ImageWriter I" cable. It has a DIN-5 plug on one end
and a standard Dsub-25 plug on the other with the correct line swapping for
NULL modem. Depending upon whether your PC connection is to a 25-pin or 9-pin
port and whether or not an extension cable is used, you may also need a Dsub-25
to Dsub-9 cable and/or a Dsub-25 gender changer. (The latter are standard items
at many computer stuff stores.)
The IIc Plus has a different serial port type. It uses the smaller connectors like the ones on a IIgs. The normal IIc uses the lareger Din-5 connector. So, you could probably get a IIgs imagewriter 1 connector and use a gender changer/9/25 pin adapter to get it to your PC. If you want to create your own cable here what you need:
Dedicated IIgs NULL modem cable
The usual IIgs NULL modem cable consists of a High-Speed IIgs modem cable
connected to a NULL modem adapter which connects to a modem cable coming
from the PC. If you want to 'roll you own' single piece IIgs --> PC cable for NULL modem connections, here is the pinout info:
IIgs PC Female Dsub
Mini-Din 8 Dsub-25F or Dsub-9F Dsub Signal
3 3 2 RXD
5 2 3 TXD
4,8 7 5 GND
2 4 7 RTS
1 5,6,8 1,6,8 CTS, DSR, DCD
7 20 4 DTR
Also, from experience, I have found that a console cable from an SGI Indy machine works perfectly as-is for IIgs transfers -- If you happen to have one of those available to you.
