- Paul "The Oggman" Parkhurst says that the cable he mentioned in his "HST
- Speed" articles (described below) neatly sidesteps this problem with the
- CTS signal and the HSKi line; this cable basically uses the GPi line to
- support the CTS signal. Is it possible that more software (PT3, METAL,
- ProLine/ModemWorks, GNO's drivers) be modified to work with this cable?

- Note: I have added the extra connections to pin-4 (RTS) at the modem and
- pin-8 (RxD+) at the serial port. Paul's cable originally didn't include
- these connections (in fact, he's had a problem with connecting pin-8) but I
- included them in keeping with the design of other Apple II modem-cables
- (i.e. InSync's) which indicate that these signals should be connected.

- Be seeing you...
