How do you connect a Milltronics Parter IV with Century IV controller to a computer? After installing a serial port card, and wiring 2 to 3 and 3 to 2, and ground to ground. Set port to 600 baud, 7, even, stop bits 2, parity none. What now?

What software are you using to send and receive programs with. Settng up the software would be the next step in setting up communications between your machine and the computer.

600 Baud will work, but sounds slow, especially if you will transferring big files. I have a Centurion V and I use 9600 Baud and have never had a problem.Quote:

Windows 95. Hyperterminal. 1200 doesn't work either. Century IV can't go to 9600. I need to test my serial port. How?
I guess the simplest place to start is to verify that your terminal program is sending and receiving data.Quote:

If that works, I'd connect the machine back in and have it list a program out to the serial port and see if you get anything on the screen.
