Serial communication

[udo-munk]

On an older 10.9 OSX system I'm not able to build the RS-232 serial console program. I have not bothered to have a closer look at it, because back in the day we used 'cu' for serial connections to other systems. Nowadays any modern UNIX system still comes with Taylor uucp, which also includes cu. To connect to my IMSAI 8080 replica I use:

sudo cu --parity=none --nostop -l /dev/tty.SLAB_USBtoUART -s 115200

To leave cu type: ~.

Thanks for the information.
