I believe 9600, but I obviously could go faster. I'm assuming I could probably go up to 57.6K, since that is the maximum listed in all three programs? When I ran at 19.2K last night on CQII and telehack it didn't seem to have any problems.

@YMK After some Google searches and trying some terminal commands, I finally got somewhat closer to having a direct link between the SE and the Mac mini. Following the instructions on Mike's PBX Cookbook, I figured out that I would need a driver to get the serial cable to work since no USB...

I will try directly connecting them tomorrow (or sometime in the near future) to see what that does. Hopefully the wiring is correct and won't require any swapping/the adapter. I loaded CQ II BBS and registered... first glance seems like an excellent treasure chest (;)) for old computer users...

Sorry, my last post wasn't with the SE connected directly to the Mac mini. When I connect the two machines together, what will I need to do to get them to communicate with each other? I'm assuming I would at least need to first run some commands on the Mac mini in Terminal to set the baud rate...

I finally got the cable to directly link the SE to my Mac mini. Now, how can I get a direct connection working to transfer files between them? I've installed Quick Link II Fax on the SE, which seems fairly similar to Kermit and Red Ryder (if I can get it working). Quick Link II Fax only "half"...

Kermit has its own configuration menus to match the settings of the modem. Two, actually. A "Communications" menu allows you to select Baud rate and parity, and "Protocol" allows you to select block check type, handshake, and transmission timing. The "AT$SB=96" and other commands are intended...

How do I get YMODEM transfers to work? I've ordered the cable (actually this one, which is cheaper) but still haven't been able to successfully download the readme included on the modem's internal storage. I was able to increase the modem speed slightly to 9600 baud... haven't went any higher...

Once I get the adapter, how can I configure the two computers to communicate with each other?

Sorry, my modem is TheOldNet serial modem, which does have a 2MB onboard storage volume. I can list the files on the modem (using the "AT$LS" command) and attempt to download them (using "AT$DL=<filename>") but can't figure out how to configure YMODEM in Red Ryder to receive the file. So I...

Is there a way to connect to my Mac mini via the modem, since it's there? Or would a direct link with the Mac mini (running from USB on the mini directly to the connector on the SE) be needed?

Do I need to turn off flow control on Red Ryder/Kermit? If so in RR, how do I do that? (I know the command to turn off flow control for the modem is "AT&KN" (or AT&KN N?) according to the command list. Then "AT&SB=384" to adjust baud rate, making sure to then make adjustment in Red...

How do I get it onto the SE? I still haven't figured out file transfers

Today I finally received my TheOldNet RS232 serial WiFi modem. I immediately unpacked it, got it up and going, and now have some questions. I'm going to start that I'm a complete "newbie" when it comes to BBS and manually using modems. It was before my time... my childhood experiences with...

Update regarding this project... Voltages checked out fine on the hard drive power connector — 5.04 volts red-black, 12.16 volts orange-black, with the machine continuing to exhibit issues. I've also retested the reset and interrupt switches and both tested open when not pressed, to be...

I checked for continuity on both switches, and it was exactly how I expected: With the switch not actuated, both switches tested open. With the switches pressed/actuated, both switches tested closed. Unless there's something I'm missing (as both are normally-open switches) that rules the...

I've seen this mentioned several other times by various people, and it seems like an easy fix. I tested the machine just a couple minutes ago with the bucket off, eliminating the mechanical case portion of the switch in case one was stuck. Machine exhibited the same issue without the cover...

I didn't foresee this happening. My 1991 Macintosh Classic has been mostly reliable since I recapped its analog and logic boards. (The only problems were caused by a loose memory expansion card, easily fixed.) I've been using it near daily for a little over a month or so — powered on for about...

The battery for my 165 is long toast. It bloated up inside the case, requiring me to partially disassemble the machine to extract. Thankfully didn't leak or cause any damage. I do hope to someday possibly rebuild the battery pack, but I'll probably let someone else do that since my soldering...

1. I was thinking power supply issue. It has a PowerBook "wall-wart" power supply, which I'm not sure is repairable since I believe I heard many are epoxied and not really repairable? 2. Was the service manual just being overly cautious on the daughterboard removal/installation? It says (on...

I've been using my trusty 1994 Macintosh PowerBook 165 a lot at work recently for writing. It's actually the most capable 68k Mac in my collection — with its 33 MHz 68030, native System 7 and '030, and ability to work with a color external display. (I've actually tried it with an Apple Hi-Res...
