Solartron 7081 serial comms
Well that's odd. I just tried to talk to three different 7081s from two
different computers via the serial port using Putty and a null-modem cable.
Port set for 9600,8,n,1 7081 dip switches in the OFF position.
Result a deafening silence even after an "OUTPUT,RS232,ON" command typed
blind at the Putty console.
I have buzzed out the serial cable which looks like:
<http://www.gamesx.com/wiki/doku.php?id=x68000:rs232_null_modem_cable_with_p
artial_handshaking>
I know this has worked before as I used the serial port for calibration last
year.
Should I be using a straight-through cable? My memory says no, but ...
I even rolled back Windows 10 Creators Update in case that was the culprit.
Help!
Dave
Addendum: Serial port will talk to a Solartron 7151 OK.

Looks like my memory is faulty and that I need a straight through cable (see my earlier post dated Friday, December 02, 2011).
