PC99 Wsector/Rsector Cable

[Bob K]

Does anyone out there have experience using Wsector/Rsector?

I run both programs [Rsector on PC & Wsector on TI (REAL) but it never gets any further then entering the port and speed on the TI and the DSK file on the PC, it SEEMS like it is waiting for something but I have a feeling that I have the wrong cable setup, I am using the cable that is used for MagicFM transfers, it works great on that but I was wondering if the Wsector program uses a different cable. I was under the impression that the MagicFM cable WAS a Null Modem cable which is required for the PC99 transfer programs.

Any help would be appreciated.

 

Thanks-

Yea I use it all the time from PC99 on a IBM PC 300PL to my TI99/4A RS232.

 

And yea sometimes it locks up for no apparent reason.

Oddly my RXB XB program using PIO instead was faster, but I think the reason why is my RXB XB program did no CRC or error checking to ensure no errors were transferred.
