Hi again,
I found some information in the 8860/BNC docs, but all this
information is splitted between more than ten manuals. I think
that my first problem is to provide a physical-link address to
the PLC. When I turn on this computer it shows a F0 byte in the
internal PLC board. It means that the computer is waiting for a
"confirmation address".
In other manual I found that the protocol used (I think it is a BDC
variant but I am not sure because it could be specified during the
installation of the DIPOS operating system and I cannot find the
people that installed it) allows us to set the devices addresses
in this way:
Example: physical-link address
40 FF 41
where 40 is the address of the receiver device
FF is a separator character
41 is the address of the sender
I have four streamer tapes with the operating system, but I do not
want to reinstall it if I cannot assure I can see anything, and I do
not know how to find a real BA80 terminal for this computer.
I will try to get it working next weeks, but it is not urgent --only
a hobby--. I think you have more important problems to solve.
Thanks again!
Igor.
