Hi there,
Can someone give me a working pinout (MiniDIN8 to DB9 Serial) to suit
console on a mac? I'm trying to
Load netbsd on my mac and console via pc.
I've tried a null modem cable, straight thru modem cable with and without
dtr and im out of ideas, the screen
Turns black indicating ive put it into openfirmware mode - but then nothing!
James.
