Re: CM12U - which port is it on?

["Paul Gordon" <paul_gordon@xxxxxxx>]

Tony,

Do you have another PC, or a laptop or anything?

You could connect 2 PC's together via their COM ports (using a null modem
cable), run a terminal proggie on each, and you should be able to type into
one and see the data on the other machine...

there also used to be a way to divert all console output to a COM port
under
DOS with a MODE command. (don't ask me what it was - it's been *far* too
long since I last saw/used DOS to be able to remember that!)
