So yesterday I pulled out my old "luggable" IBM 5155 because I wanted to know if I could use it as a Terminal for a terminal.
I have previously successfully connected a Psion 5mx over a null modem to a Raspberry Pie. Figured it would be cool to see if I can get it working on this behemoth as well. I have DOS 3.3 on a 5.25" floppy and another with some supplementary software for DOS 3.3. And wow, not a lot of software included. CTTY won't let me set Baud rate, parity och bit size. So it just freezes, and the CONNECT application doesn't throw up errors either but just sort of is there, regardless of settings.
Anyway will in the future get my self a carrier card for a CF -to-IDE so I can throw DOS 6.6 and PROCOMM on it and see if that gets me anywhere. Unless any of you folks have any tips or scathing criticism on my lack of knowledge of DOS.
