Will the new MIB238 display 80 collumn using the serial port?Wi

Will this card allow 80 collumn or do we still need a seperate box for that?

The MIB238 works great for 80 column when connected to a PC with a terminal emulator.

 

The terminal cable from the MIB238 will more than likely need a DB25 to DB9 cable. As for your PC, if you actually have a real serial port, you simply connect to that. If not, you will need a 9-pin serial to USB converter and use the USB port.

 

Take note of the serial com port established by the PC and configure your terminal program to reflect that port and set the baud rate to 19200 8,N,1. You can use PuTTY or your favorite terminal program of choice.

 

On the ADAM side, you need to use software that is configured for 80 column at 19200 8,N,1.

I like ADAMLink V for modem use with 80 column display because it’s a breeze to configure. The official MIB238 GitHub page has software examples you can use to easily get started.

 

I found an awesome Heath 19 (H19) terminal emulator that works perfectly with the new MIB238 card. It will display SmartKeys and absolute cursor positioning through emulation when using CP/M and TDOS. I have officially ditched PuTTY for this when using CP/M and TDOS. While using the 80MIB458.COM setup program, select YES when setup asks to display SmartKey descriptions on line 25 of an 80 column monitor and select YES on inverse video on line 25. Follow the official MIB238 documentation to configure everything else.

Thanks.  I just setup the H19 emu on my Linux laptop. I am just waiting for the mail man to bring the MIB Christmas gift  .

 

Decided to use the H19 on my Linux box so that I can use my Linux based telnet server at the same time.   Now I should be able to use my Adam to surf the internet in 80 column.
