Justin Payne Posted May 18, 2015 Share Posted May 18, 2015 Do those terminals do VT-52 emulation? I looked at both of them and it wasn't very obvious that they did. I noticed one did VT-100 but that was it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+David_P Posted May 18, 2015 Share Posted May 18, 2015 The 850 uses a non-standard pinout for its serial ports. You have to either purchase or build a custom cable. The FAQ details how to build one (http://www.faqs.org/faqs/atari-8-bit/faq/ , section 6.1.) I've cut and paste, but I think the format gods are against me. PINOUTS=======850 Serial Port No. 1 (9-pin female connector):1. Data Terminal Ready (DTR, Ready Out)2. Carrier Detect (CRX, In)5 1 3. Send Data (Out)o o o o o 4. Receive Data (In)o o o o 5. Signal Ground9 6 6. Data Set Ready (DSR, Ready In)7. Request to Send (RTS, Out)8. Clear to Send (CTS, In)Use a cable with the following connections to attach a standard RS-232 MODEMto an Atari via the 850's Serial Port No. 1 (equivalent to the Atari CX87Interface/Modem Cable):DB25P (RS-232 MODEM) | DB9P (850 Interface)20 1 - DTR8 2 - CRX2 3 - XMT3 4 - RCV7 5 - GND6 6 - DSR4 7 - RTS5 8 - CTSFrame - to the shield wire | No connection to shield Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
