Hi, I never had any problems with the Auora serial ports, the description of the connections is detailed in the manual clearly.
Srnet worked fine with a standard null modem lead available from any good electronic store. So there is no need to build a special sernet cable. I have connected QPC2, QPC1, Q40, Q60, QXL, Atari ST Emulator Extended 4 and Mode 8, QL with SIMSER running, with sernet and a Null modem lead bought from Maplins UK. The reliable network speeds I had were : Q40/60 : 112500 Baud QPC2 : 112500 Baud QXL : 38400 Baud Atari ST Mode 8, Extended Mode 4 Emulator : 19200 Baud QL Trump Card + SIMSER : 9600 Baud The only failure was with the Superhermes SER3, only because the SER3 is incompatiable with SMSQ/E STX/SRX. If the source code to SER3 ws available then I am sure this could be corrected very easily. I have been thinking of dissassembling the SER3 code to see if STX/SRX can be implemented, as I think Superhemes Sernet would connect at 57600 Baud very easily. Al that is to be done is to make SER3 SMSQ/E compliant.

There's nothing easier than making a serial port for the Aurora. It uses the standard PC wiring.
