#RS232

Un petit appel à tous les gens qui bricolent dans le #clavier pour ordinateur : je suis à la recherche d'une solution pour avoir un clavier (design classique de préférence) mais avec une sortie en #rs232, donc avec conversion #keycode -> #ascii intégrée.

Ça doit pouvoir se faire en reclaquant le #firmware du clavier, je suppose. Si vous avez des pistes, je veux bien poster une #gif89a pour vous remercier :)

I have a device here that is called a "ComVerter" by a company named Frontline. It is supposed to convert between RS-232 and RS-422/RS-530, but unfortunately my (used) unit came without any documentation and there does not seem to be much info about it on the internet.
Before I take this thing to a friend with an oscilloscope, I thought I'd ask if someone know this device. :)

A Frontline "Comverter", a small plastic box, slightly bigger than the palm of a hand, with a flat ribbon cable at the bottom and a DB25 port on the top.

The technician who soldered that RS 232 cable did his job very well

I would have soldered in a much neater way but it worked

I rewrote 2 DiskSumo bottleneck routines in 6502 machine code (against original plan, I started to optimize sending):
- read a disk sector into buffer
- send buffer as #Xmodem packet

With 1200 bps #RS232, floppy disk dumping speed dropped from 90 minutes to 40 minutes, getting closer to line rate.

New machine code inlined in #BASIC lines is under 20 screen lines per routine. This is a "type in" program, so I need to optimize my verbose machine code syntax as well.

@W6KME So glad I’ve held on to a box of these real cables (both 9 and 25 pin) keeping cables, cross-overs, 9-25 and M-M and F-F adapters though multiple moves in recent years. Just used a 9 to 9 last week as a matter of fact. They can have them when they pry them from my …

@0h00000000 That's interesting. I'll check it out.

But also sets off a whole nother set of bells in my head.

Second... if an ideal design has your design independent of your hardware, using an FPGA that lets them vendor lock you because of a hard-core is worse than using FTDI.

First... I fundamentally have hated since I first wrote a paper about it in 1996 or so. It is a terrible set of hacks trying to replace and it has failed in all manners. I should write a blog post.

Sarjakaapeli tuli. Joihinkin vanhempiin tuotannossa käytettäviin laitteisiin näitä menee.

Sarjakaapelin tinaamista kolvilla. Liitin pienessä ruuvipenkissä. Kaapeli kiepillä. Tinaa rullassa. Joitakin työkaluja pöydällä.

@nono : Peut-on généraliser cette constatation aux cordons #NullModem #rs232 ?
