Thanks Mark... I played with this. I built a 3-wire cable; I'm sure I have it wired right because traffic happens - and if I disconnect, or switch Rx/Tx, it just sits there.... but this is as far as it gets: MikeUpstairs:~ Imac$ ./tu58 -s 38400 -p /dev/tty.usbserial -d -v -m -x -r vax73058 info: unit 0 r file 'vax73058' info: tu58 tape emulator v1.4j (NF6X fork) info: (C) 2005-2014 Don North <ak...@mindspring.com>, (C) 1984 Dan Ts'o <Rockefeller University> info: serial port /dev/tty.usbserial at 38400 baud info: MRSP mode enabled (NOT fully tested - use with caution) info: TU58 emulation start info: R restart, S toggle send init, V toggle verbose, D toggle debug, Q quit info: emulator started (I ctrl-c the VAX) info: flag=0x00 last=0x00 info: <NULL> seen info: flag=0x00 last=0x00 info: <NULL> seen info: flag=0x04 last=0x00 info: <INIT> seen info: flag=0x04 last=0x04 info: <INIT> seen info: <INIT><INIT> seen, sending <CONT> (?27 DEVICE ERROR on VAX) (I ctrl-c the VAX again) info: flag=0x00 last=0xFF info: <NULL> seen info: flag=0x00 last=0x00 info: <NULL> seen info: flag=0x04 last=0x00 info: <INIT> seen info: flag=0x04 last=0x04 info: <INIT> seen info: <INIT><INIT> seen, sending <CONT> (?27 DEVICE ERROR on VAX) (repeat) Can you spot me being stupid?
