Hello all, currently trying to get the Hammer application on the
Mac to connect to the Debugger Connection on the Newton. I'm not yet
familiar with Hammer so would appreciate hearing from those that have
gotten this to work, and maybe a video if possible.
Got a G4 Powerbook up and running 10.4 that can run classic. Hammer
runs on the G4. Got the debugger going on the Newton.
Newton: Currently have built in serial and 57K baud. I am using
the "dongle destroyer" serial port on the Newton 2000.
Mac: Hammer when brought up looked for something to open. I hit
cancel. I look in the preferences and it is set for 57 K baud. (Stop
of debug traps and beep on stops selected as the opening default).
Trying to connect I get a error 1 saying I need to check the cable
and baud rate.
That is where I am at this point. Any recommendations?
Thoughts of mine at this point :
* the dongle destroyer serial port is used in countless connections
of other programs, usually lately with the serial to USB from
AppleNewtonFan.
* Serial cable being used has been used with quite a few USB-28 to
serial adaptor connections.
* The only connection not tested with other applications is the
serial connection under this G4 Powerbook running Classic.
I've heard this can work using Basilisk II. If you've gotten this
to work, please let me know what kind of setup you used.
Thanks,
Greg / Doc Clu
