Atari 8-bit as terminal for MacOS?

Thu Mar 31, 2011 9:33 PM

I'd like to make my 800XL act as a terminal to my Mac - to access the Mac shell on the Atari. I thought I'd be able to figure it out, but haven't had much luck.

My setup is : Atari 800XL -> 850 -> USB-to-Serial (using port 1) -> Mac's USB port

I've tried 850 Express (no data seems to be transferred), and Telelink 1 ("RS232 ERROR: 130").

Maybe my port speeds aren't synched. Maybe the Atari doesn't see the usb->serial cable. Any hints would be appreciated.

Thanks
Kevin
