This is probably a very simple question, but I always have trouble with printers and flow control. I tried to print a banner on my new printer, but I got a buffer overflow error.
The Altair Clone docs identify this serial pin configuration:
Pin Signal
2 XMT from Terminal (out) to Clone (in)
3 RCV to Terminal (in) from Clone (out)
4 RTS from Terminal (out) to Clone (CTS in)
5CTS to Terminal (in) from Clone (RTS out)
7 Signal Ground
My printer docs identify this serial pin configuration:
1 Chassis Ground
2 Serial Data Out - Asynchronous output data line
3 Serial Data In - Asynchronous input data line
7 Signal Ground
11 and 20 Data Terminal Ready (DTR)
Does this mean I need a custom cable? Is DTR the same as CTS/RTS? I have spend a lot of effort avoiding serial ports and the problems they incur. Ha!
Thanks for any advice.
