Hello Guys, URI> i have nightmares from my serial line days. so many years working on URI> them in so many ways. and of course with vt-100s all around.
How bad can that be =) >From Tom and Ben's comments, I gather it is a standard DB25 with a null modem >I need. Doh - I expected something more exotic =) Now I am starting to feel >old.. I actually know the cable to wire a VT-100...wait, I was born right >about at the same time of that terminal! The connector in the back looks like a plastic DB-25, so I guess that makes sense. >I'll bet that that is a piece of trivia that you never expected to need to >use again! :-) eh. Not really... I think I have a few parallel thingys around (I use plenty of emulators in my embedded work, and the DB-25 cable seems to be popular in interfacing with them. WILLIAM>It *is* that old. The VT100 used DB25 with proper DTE gender according WILLIAM>to the original standard. (Modems are DCEs, computers and terminals are WILLIAM>DTEs, by definition.) Is proper DTE gender female ? or male? (BTW: how come so many people love Pcs For Everyone ?) Someone asked if it is a 102... I think it is a plain 100 as far as I can remember. As I gather that the 102s had the same case but a different bezel, it should be easy to tell once I am home. Thanks for the feedback guys -- I'll let you know how it works out. -Federico _________________________________________ -- "'Problem' is a bleak word for challenge" - Richard Fish Muad'Dib of Caladan (Federico L.
