Hello,

Here's a wiring arrangement Amiga PC
that should work for SLIP or ~~~~~~ ~~~~~
PPP between Amiga 25 pin and FG 1
PC 9 pin serial ports. It is
an ordinary DTE-to-DTE "null TXD 2 ----\/---- 3 TXD
modem" cable that would also RXD 3 <---/\---> 2 RXD
let you log into the PC from
the Amiga if you were running RTS 4 ----\/---- 7 RTS
unix on the PC, or let you CTS 5 <---/\---> 8 CTS
log into the Amiga if it's
running BBS software that DTR 20 ----\/---- 4 DTR
supports a direct connection. DSR 6 <-+-/\-+-> 6 DSR
I've a vague recollection DCD 8 <-' `-> 1 DCD
that the Amiga could be
persuaded to dump information from its serial port in the event of a crash and I wouldn't be surprised if AmigaDOS could redirect its console to/from the serial port.

Power supply pins (stay away from these) follow. These pin- outs are straight from the web, so check for yourself before using them, or any pins other than the eight shown above. Use good screened/shielded untwisted cable and connect the screen to pin one (frame ground) at the Amiga end only.

A1000 Other Amigas

14 -5V 50mA max 9 +12V 20mA max
21 +5V 10 -12V 20mA max
23 +12V 20mA max

Hope this helps,
