Hi everyone,
I've got an old Toshiba T2100 laptop, onto which I've installed Windows 95. It has both serial and parallel ports and I'm trying to set up direct cable connection, but not having any luck so far.
I have two host machines that I tried using, one is a Sony Vaio laptop running Windows 7 Home Pro x64, other an older generic desktop machine running Windows Server 2003 32 bit.
Windows Server computer does have parallel port, and I have tried setting up DCC over it, but that didn't work. A while ago I have also purchased a dual serial port PCI card (High Speed PCI Serial Port) and put it in the box, but that didn't work either.
Today I decided to give DCC another go, and went to purchase USB to serial adapter. Tried on Win 7 machine first, plugged in the cable and the driver for FT232R USB UART installed automatically. Then I set up an incoming connection (had to add legacy driver for cable connection via device manager), but still couldn't connect from Win 95. Then did the same on Windows Server 2003 PC, making sure port settings (speed and flow control) matched on both guest and the host, but no luck.
Any help in getting DCC to work is much appreciated, either over USB to Serial, or over in built parallel or PCI serial card.
Cheers
