- HELP!!!!!
- I have the commodore a2232 serial card and it does NOT
- work with anything but terminal programs. I can not
- get it to allow me to use the "newshell aux1:" or
- "newshell ser6:" at all. if i try to do newshell ser4:
- (or any port) the prompt for the shell gets printed for
- me on my parallel printer. what the hell is happening?
-
- Did you install the new Aux-Handler, Port-Handler and Mount command?
- This is necessary for the SER?: and AUX?: devices to work. You'll
- find the new files in the cli directory of the A2232 Install disk.
- The Aux-Handler and Port-Handler files go into L:, and Mount goes into
- C:.
-
- i also have a really cheesy 1.3 looking preference
- manager for the card.
-
- Welcome to the club. Thankfully you only need it to set the default
- port.
-
- i was hoping to be able to use a dumb terminal with my
- computer and maybe hook other serial things up, but so far
- all i can do is use terminal programs (by the way they work ok)
- like ncomm and handshake and select any port i want. needless
- to say i am dissapointed in paying what i did for it and it
- doesn't work.
-
- any ideas?
-
- See above. You can do what you want to do if you install all the
- software correctly.
