[M100] Full Null Modem Cable Cottage Industry?

Hi: I have a steady hand and a good eye when soldering and was thinking of crafting null modem cables like Rick Hanson used to do for sale to the model T community. This to to make file transfer cheap and easy for our community, especially the folks who don't own a NADSbox or are new to the model

Re: [M100] Full Null Modem Cable Cottage Industry?

If you were building one I would recommend an all in one cable that hooks straight from a USB port to any model t particularly the model 100 with no adapters necessary. Also it should be full null rather than defeating flow control as the old complink cable did in order to support programs like

Re: [M100] Full Null Modem Cable Cottage Industry?

I can't check all the details right now but I believe this is the USB to db25 male null modem cable I posted about a few months back. Though the price at that time was $25 not $45.

Re: [M100] Full Null Modem Cable Cottage Industry?

Yes, I have been looking into Ftdi and max232 since I'm getting into a homebrew (i.e. serial) Arduino project as of late. This has similar problems to communication with a m100 type machine. How many of these cables, dongles would the community need per year? Thanks Dave NV3F On Wed, Dec 2,

Re: [M100] Full Null Modem Cable Cottage Industry?

Hi Kurt, I have one of these cables and yes, the housing is too thick for the M100. It works fine for the 102 and 200. Don On 12/02/2015 09:50 AM, Kurt McCullum wrote: I can't check all the details right now but I believe this is the USB to db25 male null modem cable I posted about a few

Re: [M100] Full Null Modem Cable Cottage Industry?

USB to serial converter with a 6ft cable can be ordered directly from the OEM of the chip for a reasonable price. See http://www.ftdichip.com/Products/Cables/USBRS232.htm#UC232R-10. Just a DB25 connector w/housing has to be fitted to it. Georg Am 02.12.2015 21:28 schrieb "Kurt McCullum"

I have used acoustic couplers on my M100 (at a public phone) just to say I've done it. I'll never do it again :) On Dec 2, 2015 4:08 PM, "Marko Peussa" wrote: > Those cables are hard to find. However, a good alternative is to buy a > modem and connect it to the M100

What we need is a USB to adaptaplug cable. On 27 November 2015 at 13:40, Brad Whitlock wrote: > The juice packs should put out 5V, the same as you'd get from 4 rechargeable > batteries, so it should just be a matter of making a cable with USB on one > end and the right

Re: [M100] USB "juice pack"

I just got one of these: http://www.amazon.com/Schumacher-XP2260-Instant-Portable-Source/dp/B004EIAADG It should power my m100 for awhile. :) On Wed, Dec 2, 2015 at 10:57 PM, Peter Vollan wrote: > What we need is a USB to adaptaplug cable. > > > On 27 November 2015 at

I do think that might be powerful enough, just not quite pocket sized or all that portable. But *definitely* plenty of juice. And versatile too... On Wed, Dec 2, 2015 at 9:59 PM, Jeff Gonzales wrote: > I just got one of these: > > >

Re: [M100] USB "juice pack"

Damn; they won't ship to Canada. You could even top up your bike tires, but you'd still need what started all this, the USB<->M100 cable. For $2.00 you could use this version (although you could of course just keep an AA four-pack in your pocket...): That's one of my 'frontlight's in the

Re: [M100] USB "juice pack"

There is a Radio Shack part that a cigar plug that output 6VDV and had an adaptaplug so that any connector could be used. Do not remember the part number just now. On 28 November 2015 at 09:56, Steven Ranft wrote: > I found this on Amazon here in the US. > >

Something like this? http://www.amazon.com/Universal-Adapter-Charger-500ma-Lighter/dp/B00K2FGTX0 But with the right USB cable an ordinary lighter USB adapter would be OK as well. m - Original Message - From: "Peter Vollan" To: "Model 100 Discussion"

Re: [M100] Full Null Modem Cable Cottage Industry?

Presumably because PC com ports are also male and whatever you would have plugged into that port or the USB converter replacing it would therefore have a female connector; female<->female adapters are cheap. A female 25pin RS-232 port as in the M100 is relatively unusual, and is/was a parallel

In my case (circa 2007), I was dialling in to my Solaris machine to thumb my nose at the elitists at the local coffee shop :) The payphone in question is still in operation as of yesterday, however the Solaris machine is not. On Dec 2, 2015 4:17 PM, "Jeff Gonzales" wrote:

Re: [M100] Full Null Modem Cable Cottage Industry?

I'm still not quite sure why all the USB to Serial converters end in 9-pin male - so you need another cable to connect to pretty much anything. Is there a reason why a null-modem configuration with a 9-pin female isn't the norm? I can't think of one. 95% of people buying one of these things
