Without that last sentence I'd suspect the null-modem.

Is there a chance it's just something obvious, like, a loose wire in the cable, or slightly different wiring for Amiga usage, or a bent pin on the MIO connector?

Yeah, I think you're right. Even in this cable which is supposed to be a "full" null modem I think CD is not corrected correctly so IceT doesn't know it is connected. I'm going to buy a couple of connectors and wire up a cable myself next week.

Hey Guys

This thread has encouraged me to set this up on my machine. I'm using the serial port of my MIO set as 9600 N 1 and a null modem cable connected to ttyS0 on my Fedora Linux server. I've been using IceT to try it out.

The problem I'm having is that I can send data from the Linux box to the Atari, but not from the Atari back.

If I start up IceT on the A8 and then do 'screen /dev/ttyS0' on the Linux end, whatever I type on the Linux keyboard is echoed on the Atari screen, but when I type at the Atari end nothing pops out on the Linux end. Same thing happens if I run a GUI, I see the login prompt on the A8 but can't respond.

I'm happy the null modem is good as I use it to copy data from my Amiga to a PC so I'm wondering if I missed a setting some where? Any suggestions would be gratefully received.

Interesting ...

As for the original topic, I'm not personally aware of attacking users of other formats or the formats themselves. I've owned and used many other 8 and 16 bit systems and still do. Yeah there are some aceholes here but then I notice they're everywhere nowadays. I'll be sorry to see you go, groups benefit from a multitude of voices and opinions after all, but if you really feel that strongly I hope you find what you're looking for elsewhere.

Oh and would you mind editing your original post and removing the 'c' word? I don't think there's a need for it. Thanks.

Certainly I'm one of Planet Earth's worst time-keepers. However, I'm eccentric so that's my excuse, lol. :)

Most wives will testify that "tomorrow" when asserted by the husband actually means some time in the next decade (tiling bathroom, etc). However, the demo will be out long before I get the bathroom done. :D

Ah well, at least you have your priorities straight :D

Hold a gun to one of his 1084's, that'll do it.

Heh, or a sun lamp!
