Hello users:

     I want transfer my files between my Amiga 500 and TI-99/4A computers.
I talked with guys at GEnie online service and they gave me information.
I tried it with null modem adapter or straight RS232 cables from both
stores (Electronic Boutique and Radio Shack) but they do not work.
I tried it with a lamp cord (connects to pin 2 and 3 on both TI and
Amiga connectors in straight) but it still do not work. Does anyone
know any good IBM/Amiga-to-TI null modem (RS232) cable that will work
very well?? Can you help me? Thanks!!

             20 DTR  Data Terminal Ready
             22 RI   Ring Indicator

My TI-RS232 Manual says that DTR is require for operation why that it
refuse to work!!

I will consider to connect null modem cable with 4 wires: RXD, TXD, DSR,
and DTR. Perhaps It will work well.

Thanks!!
