[Coco] USB to serial cable

[Bill Pierce]

Bill, Leave the Coco off and start drivewire on your PC. Go through the setup (config/Simple Config Wizaed) and select the Coco 1. Select your serial device from the list. All other prompts can be left at default. and finish. Now you should be back at the DW GUI.
Power on the Coco.... you should see activity in the GUI if you have a connection.

There used to be a test function in the setup but I think Aaron removed it.

You will need HDBDOS configured for Coco 1 (HDBDOS 1.1d?) to use DW in DECB.

Subject: [Coco] USB to serial cable


I have a Coco 1 with no floppy drives and I have attached a usb to serial
cable to my PC, ran what I think is the driver for it, and have attached the
DriveWire cable to my Coco.  Is there any kind of POKE or PEEK that I can
run on the Coco to see if it is recognizing the hookup?

 

Thanks
