apalacios66 Posted January 8, 2022 Share Posted January 8, 2022 Good morning, everybody, I been assign to some old projects , so I try to connect to some PMAC-PCI-Lite cards by J4 with jumper E110(1-2) or J9 to DB9 to a couple laptops, same one , who the last person connect to those cards. I click on General Setup And Options on PMAC Devices and test and no luck, it show PMAC could not be detected. So here it come a couple questions : 1- Is what I'm doing wrong, because I can't get connection with these PMAC Cards ? 2.- What is the procedure to achieve this connection ? and third one : I know the Power Clipper board has the option of use Network for establish communication with PMAC IDE, however there's any change to connect in the similar way than the old ones. Thanks for your time, help be appreciate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steve.milici Posted January 10, 2022 Share Posted January 10, 2022 What are the serial port settings in PMAC Devices? What are the serial port settings in the PMAC-PCI-Lite? These must be the same. See the “PComm32 Driver Installation Instructions” in the Windows Start menu under the “PMAC Executive Pro2 Suite”. There is a chapter titled “Setting up COM Port in Pewin 32 Pro2” with complete instructions. The PMAC-PCI-Lite only supports serial and PCI bus communications.

apalacios66 Posted January 11, 2022 Author Share Posted January 11, 2022 Steve, Good morning, thanks for your answer both are same 38400,8,N,1,N, but not success. Indeed I follow the instructions on Page 11, but when I press test , this show me an error "The PMAC could not be detected" Regards Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steve.milici Posted January 13, 2022 Share Posted January 13, 2022 Verify the serial port BAUD rate jumpers are set for 38.4K BAUD (E44-E47). Otherwise, the serial port may be compromised. Try “ALL” the BAUD rates in Pewin32 to be certain. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
angrygoat Posted April 26, 2022 Share Posted April 26, 2022 I have a similar issue, in that the PCI card is not detected, so you are saying that serial connection is the option to use if the device is not detected via PCI slot? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steve.milici Posted April 26, 2022 Share Posted April 26, 2022 Yes, try the serial port. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
angrygoat Posted April 26, 2022 Share Posted April 26, 2022 OK do I need remove card from pci slot and provide separate power to the card then connect to an open com port via rs-232? or just leave it in PCI slot and set up a com port that way. Please understand that this is my first foray into older style pmacs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steve.milici Posted April 26, 2022 Share Posted April 26, 2022 If the card is not in a watchdog condition and the green power LED is on you should be able to leave it in the PCI slot. This should be a technical support issue. Please contact ODT's direct technical support with your full issue details at: ODT-Support@omron.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
