Alright, I have a correctly configured cable (crimp pin DB9, my soldering is terrible) and do not get a connection to the Delta Tau both with hardware handshaking on and off. Any ideas from here ? The person who originally did something like this used the J7 on the Turbo PMAC but apparently the old version had the J7 as a 26-pin, we just have two, main and aux, IDC10 connections.
I was wondering if the reference in the UMAC Turbo HRM to Serial-Port Level Select Jumpers for RS-232 or RS-422 is relevant despite the switch in the serial port design for our board and if I should check those jumpers as a next step?
Alternatively, this whole project started back in June when we tried to order the "Pcomm Server Pro 2 Library" (what we're doing is extremely similar to what a fellow named meindert.norg previously implemented on this board, though we need more expansive functionality after that point) to allow us to just not worry with serial communications and use ActiveX, but your salespeople never called us back so we tried to implement it with parts on hand (long summer vacations, apparently).
Thank you kindly.
