just a dump of the basics, i'll format it later
Terminate - Terminal Software
Needed
- MAME
- DOS
- Terminate
- tcpser
Terminate
Get ter500.zip from https://www.terminate.com/download.htm Install dos and the ter500.zip package into a chd The easiest way is to probably put it in a floppy image and attach it to the machine
tcpser
- Get a copy of tcpser (not available in repos on ubuntu 20.04)
$ wget http://launchpadlibrarian.net/139812064/tcpser_1.0rc12-2_amd64.deb # dpkg -i tcpser_1.0rc12-2_amd64.deb
- Configure MAME with a bitbanger device on port 25232 and a null modem connected. Add this to your launch params
looks like if you connect it as board2 it'll be become com2?
-board2:comat:serport1 null_modem \ -bitb socket.127.0.0.1:25232
- Startup tcpser to listen on 25232, using the VICE RS232 prot, speed and port can be whatever so long as MAME matches
tcpser -v 25232 -p 6333 -s 38400 -l 4 -i Z
Option | Description |
---|---|
-v | tcp port for VICE RS232 (e.g. 25232). Cannot be used with -d |
-p | port to listen on (defaults to 6400) |
-l | 0 (NONE), 1 (FATAL) - 7 (DEBUG_X) (defaults to 0) |
-i | modem init string (defaults to , leave off 'at' prefix when specifying) |
-p probably isn't really required, but you can hook another console in if you care and watch along
MAME
- Get a copy of MAME and set it up for the ct486 machine - https://www.mamedev.org/
- Start up MAME with the bitbanger device, it'll auto connect to the tcpser instance
- Go into partial UI mode (scrlock) and confirm the speed on the serial device
- Machine Configuration -> root:board2:comat:serport1:null_modem
Setting | Value |
---|---|
Flow Control | Off |
Data Bits | 8 |
Parity | None |
RX Baud | <tcpser speed> |
Stop Bits | 1 |
TX Baud | <tcpser speed> |
- Reset the machine to reconnect the tcp instance at the correct speed
Boot into dos and start Terminate
Note: if you are in partial ui mode, go back to full because scroll lock in terminate toggles doorway mode
Check your comports
- ALT-O
- Communications Setup
- COM Ports
Configure a Hays compatible mode
- ALT-O
- Communications Setup
- Hayes Accura 28.80(1) on COM2
- UART/Serial
- Baudrate <tcpser speed>
- Databits / Stops Bits / Parity 8,N,1
Configure a Phonebook Entry
- ALT-D
- A (Add)
- E (Edit)
- System name: <whatever>
- Phone Number: <telnet address>
- ESC
- V (SaVe)
(1)caveats, you can't hand up the call because its always high
