Hi, I’ve been trying to get my T102 to talk to my modern MacBook. For this I’ve bought a usb-c to db9 cable and a db9 to db25 serial null modem cable. I have today installed a REX# in my t102 as well. Anyway, I haven’t been able to get a connection to a terminal program nor TS-DOS. I know this *can* work on a Mac as I”ve previously had a T102 and a pretty crazy franken-cable that work like a charm.
This time I though, I’d get a simpler setup with only one usb-c to serial and a null modem cable, in stead of a USB-A to serial, a DB9 serial modem cable, a null modem converter and a DB9 to DB25 converter. Crazily enough that horrible mess of cable and multiple adapters worked. The serial cable that I got this time around is this one: https://www.amazon.nl/Vrouwelijk-parallelle-printerkabel-Datatransmissie-Communicatie/dp/B08C9TXXCK/ref=sr_1_18?__mk_nl_NL=%C3%85M%C3%85%C5%BD%C3%95%C3%91&crid=TRBHXQVKSIVH&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.NOI_htfBsniWi16cA7NrpAsbwAFQHVL9HsjtCZDB-QrcH328-7sC_CZHghnU9G19bemEAqjGO2AYpuVod7RPWDwXiMs-6romUKb81fCynFFx7v8y0LYEfR77WCc9mMFZOu_J2ZEZXMmzgzG4UVOAP2-9q0vmmPaW_Ko3ivHRWYh5ZifAD_7KLGEqK7aFxOn22KcARopde7vuFHpTzbvko1rPviFqUyTirH8GS7y8mj4GWrIXFhwTAiFCo6ZOaSuwTLUTNk1apT1lg5p8hgHYLzKCiN7PfDL-dWWzZUZDUfE.wnq2KLE6yCDlC49ZLZqqn82UL8RLijAKlOy-veK9Jtk&dib_tag=se&keywords=Tripp+Lite+Model+P456-006+6+ft.+Null+Modem+DB9F+to+DB25M&qid=1768668965&sprefix=tripp+lite+model+p456-006+6+ft.+null+modem+db9f+to+db25m%2Caps%2C113&sr=8-18. I don’t really know much about serial cables and connections, so I’m having a hard time debugging this setup. Does anyone of you have an idea of what’s wrong, or what serial null modem cable that can be ordered in Europe and is know to work? Cheers, Erik
