I'm trying to avoid making a custom cable.
The shifters that I'm trying to use have jumpers that allow me to
control the DSR/DTR on both ends of the connection so that I don't
need to make a custom cable.
Right now, the jumper is set to loopback on the M100 side of the connection.

my new job on Monday.

I am able to see all the files in TS_DOS and I can load non-BASIC

I have verified that the files that I am loading are tokenized BASIC files.

Ah, yes, the PC-2 RS-232C interface.
I have an extra one that I can sell to you. I'll have to look to see if I have
all the brackets for it (I might not), and I think I can scare up a power
supply for it. The ones that I have have had the batteries replaced.

Ya, when I had my PC-2 RS-232 interfaces apart to replace the batteries, there
was a good amount of stuff in it. It certainly wasn't a simple "run some lines
from here to the serial port".
The ROM probably includes some PC-2 commands. I know that when you plug the
RS-232 interface in, BASIC g
The batteries only give the extra "oomph" to run the solenoids when printing.
But it's possible that the printer is reporting batteries too low.
Note that you can use a more powerful AC adapter to power the printer/PC-2. I
have a 2A one for my set up. Then you don't need the batteries at all.
Owning vintage computer equipment is really no different than owning a vintage
car.
You can't go to the local auto repair shop to get it fixed because they won't
have the tools or the parts.
Speaking of parts, you can't go to your local auto parts shop because they

My understanding is that the NADSbox was superceded by dlplus and later

like a TPDD). https://github.com/rlauzon54/pi-tpdd
