Subj: REPLY TO MSG #1536 (HOOKING M100 TO COMPUGRAPHIC)
Jay: If the plugs on the back of the Compugraphics are indeed serial then you're on your way to communications. Here's a list of items you will need to complete the connection: - serial port, specifically RS232C - a communications program on the Compugraphic computer - a null-modem cable with cross pinning as necessary - your model 100 Step 1: Open the manual for the Compugraphics and look for a description of the ports on the back of the equipment. Also, look for a communications program or method of addressing the serial port. Make sure it says RS232C or RS232, not RS442, or RS422, or X.25, etc.--their are many methods of serial communications. I'll stop here. Go and confirm the port-type and programming and come back for step 2. -Rick-
