Some IMSAI-esp serial port cheat sheets

[Mark Lawler]

First of all thanks for all of the 411 and help I've received on the web site, assembly/software documentation, this forum, sister machine's forum, some e-mails from many of you!  My goal was to be able to connect my Altair-duino 8800 to my IMSAI-esp 8080 via a serial cable and reliably send files back and forth.  I'm there.  However, I decided that I needed to create (at least for myself) a set of cheat sheets such that I wouldn't forget all the documented and tribal knowledge I've absorbed from so many sources.  I started with the the simplest of tests/tasks of setting up and validating comms on the ports, to file transfers between each and my PC, to using one machine as a terminal to another, and ending with file transfers between the two machine.  I've attached each of these cheat sheets to this message in case anybody finds them helpful or useful.  The only caveat is what could possibly change in either machine, their CP/M versions, software, etc. after today's date:

IMSAI 8080 As A Terminal to Altair 8800.docx

Altair 8800 Pro DB9 Serial Port.docx

Altair 8800 As A Terminal To IMSAI 8080.docx

Altai 8800 -- IMSAI 8080 File Transfers.docx

Hope they are useful.

Best,
