Recommend null modem cable for Amiga Explorer
« on: February 10, 2008, 10:21:19 AM »
I'm in the process of setting up Amiga Explorer but am having trouble with my null modem cable. Can anyone recommend a good null modem cable they've successfully used and available to buy in the UK?
Thanks in advance!

@ straycat,

I use one of these: - Serial Cable



I'm looking for a cable someone had previous success with so many thanks for this tip (my existing cable has worked with an Amstrad NC100 but I know Amiga Explorer is supposed to use all connections).

Thanks to everyone else for suggestions :)

This turned out to be a bit of a weird one. I did buy another cable in the end but still the same problem. Doing things back to front (as I often seem to do) I then decided to try and copy the files to a floppy (using MessySID 2) rather than send the Setup over the null modem cable. It worked first time, so the cable was fine but the transferring of the setup files over the cable just didn't work. So advice to anyone else - if you have problems try the floppy method if you can before going for another cable!
