Found a new serial console for my Diag cart

Post by olivier.jan »

While going through some old boxes I found the (nearly) perfect Serial console for my STs :D

It works pretty well with the Diag Cart and I even found some GEM software to transfer and convert files.
Next time I’ll try with a Portfolio, just need to find a parallel cable first.
Retro stuff
520 STF/ 1040 STE / Mega ST / 2 Mega STE / 2 H5
2 x 600XL with U1MB /SOFIA 2/ AVG CART / and a few 1050
Apple //c, Commodore 128, Mac Classic, SE/30, LC, IIvi and PB G3 (Clamshell)
Amiga 600 and a few 486 and 386.
Many Nintendo G&W and other electronic games from the late 70s/early 80s.

Ah, interesting solution there...I have an old Psion 3 somewhere (plus serial interface) so that might be a good space efficient solution!
