9 pin to 9pin null modem cable ?

[carvedeye]

Hi all i have a null modem cable with two 9 pin connectors on each end and was wondering if it possible to use it between amiga and pc?

TIA

Any one?

Yes but you'll need a a 9 pin to 25 pin adapter on the Amiga end.

I think you'd be better off with a cable that has 9 & 25 pin connectors at the both ends.

If you're a tinkerer, you can make your own adaptor by following the information on this page:

That's exactly what you need, carvedeye.
I've used one of those myself, but it was WAAAAAY back, & now I can't remember how it was done except that involved terminal software on each machine. (like what you would use to access one of the old dialup BBS's)

If memory serves, the Amiga end was easy, but (typically) the PC end was more difficult to set up.
No doubt someone here will be able to explain better.

That doesn't make sense technically beseen
I got a 25 to 25 null modem with a 25 to 9 pin converter and an usb to serial converter working nicely with AmigaExplorer, so I can't see why a 9 to 9 pin null modem with a 25 to 9 pin converter wouldn't work
