My #Amstrad #ppc640 has an old-style 25 pin #rs232 port. Unfortunately yesterday I couldn't source a #db9 to #db25 #serial adapter, so I had to...ehm...improvise 😅
It seems that only Rx, Tx and ground are needed for it to work!

It's hot, I hate it - so I turn my attention the the #Intel 8251 #UART which is being used in the MT Telcom II #modem #cartridge for #MSX systems.

I've already converted the cartridge to make use of an #esp8266 with #Zimodem firmware and desoldered the relays etc. (see here: github.com/dromorobo/MSX-wifi)

I guess it shouldn't be too much of a hassle to adapt my existing #Forth #code to that chip - that way I could have a very, very simplistic terminal program similar to the one that is included in the cartridge firmware. But unlike the firmware one, the Forth code would offer the chance to add minimalistic terminal emulation and hardware #flowcontrol.

Sounds like a nice rabbit hole to fall into - not that anyone would need such a software. But I could do it and I wonder wether I should ...

The PCB of a dutch "MT-Telcom II" modem cartridge for MSX computers on a workbench. The relays have been removed and an ESP8266 acting as wifi modem was placed instead. Wires connect the ESP with the Intel 8251 UART

Trying to stack components in order to save space. Not sure if it is a good idea. #kicad #retrocomputing #commodore #c128 #wifimodem
