This is how I sent text (.DO) files using CoolTerm from macOS to M100.
1. Download CoolTerm for macOS here
https://www.macupdate.com/app/mac/31352/coolterm
<https://www.macupdate.com/app/mac/31352/coolterm>
2. Install CoolTerm
3. Connect Null Modem cable between computers
4. Start CoolTerm on macOS and TERM on M100
5. Match the settings between both programs (98N1E) and verify the
connection; type on one appears of the other.
4. Enter TEXT on M100 and with file name to receive/save
5. Press [F2] LOAD and Load from: COM:98N1E
6. Back to macOS and CoolTerm go to Connection > Send Text/Binary File…
7. Select file from Finder and click Ope. A status bar will appear as the
file in dumped into TEXT
8. When complete exit CoolTerm and TEXT
9. Text file should be on the M100 Menu
I got this to work with a LapLink Null Modem cable and a Tripp Lite RS232 to
USB adaptor. Even got it working using an ioGear GBC232A RS232 to BT adaptor.
This is how I got TS-DOS for RAM installed from macOS. I did have problems
after installing TS-DOS. Ended up having to use the extra delay version to
accommodate the cable to BT to macOS. I also did this with an Ol’ XP P4 using
HTerm (I think). Since the GBC232A configuration program is Windows only I had
to start there, but once the GBC232A is configured you’re good to go anywhere;
e.g. macOS, Linux, DOS.
God Bless,
